Today's first ball dismissal to a dreadful half shot was poor for his standards
England's savior in England 2013 has not stood up when he's been needed this series

on the contrary, why do they all of a sudden have to have 100m wide sightscreens and restricting seats where people could sit? what was wrong with the old sightscreens?


The current sightscreens actually allow more seats to be used.
The old sightscreens were just as wide but you couldnt see through them

Even when he was hitting Lyon (good shots admittedly) I think there was a massive mind frame of 'ill hit out before Mitch comes on

Bresnan can bat. We will be chasing 300 I reckon.

Yes 300-320 is on the cards.
Cant see us getting close unless Warner tons up. With Watto and Bailey we are effectively 2/0
