It might just be me but it feels like there's been a lot more Lbs than usual this series.

Good stuff from Woakes, selection for the Pakistan series is such a headache aha.
Anderson, Broad and Woakes are ahead of Archer for me and were before this game. Archer is only bowling mid 80s and isn’t getting any movement in the air or off the pitch. His lines and length aren’t as good as Woakes either. They may want to pick all four still which I’m ok with. But the spinner would be Leach for me.

Archer brings something unique to the table that Woakes can't, he's probably had an indifferent game here but was a class apart in the first match.

We need to talk about Archer imo.
Nah we don't. He's a long term prospect who we need to stick with in all conditions. Think he'll need some close man management too, keep his confidence up.

He has too high a ceiling not to back completely. I wish the scrutiny on him could be tempered a bit after he's had such high highs in a short career so far.

Seriously, the footwork of our middle order is embarrassing. So many lbw's with the front foot barely outside the popping crease. The batting coach has not done a good job in the last 2 matches. I hate to say it, but it does appear that whatever Floyd Reifer touches goes wrong......

its the reactive nature of modern day sports.

absolutely everything has to be scrutinised in the most minute detail

Great stuff Woakes, well deserved 5 for.

A limp surrender from the Windies if we're being honest. A shame as they have been good on this tour and it must be difficult having been in the bio bubble thing for so long.

Yup, the week Archer has a go at knee-jerkers on his social media you don't have to look very far to find the kind of hot takes he's talking about.
