Highlights packages in general tend to be very bad with that, especially if they stingy like Cricket Australia's, but the ECB and BCCI are especially prominent in not showing their own team's lapses. There needs to be a simple order of priority like wickets > major incidents (drops, hundreds) > boundaries > minor incidents.I appreciate that the ECB posts 15 minute highlights on YouTube of every day but the guy doing them needs to be told how to make highlights. Random singles and twos getting included, dropped catches not getting proper replays, Khawaja's wicket only being shown as a single analysis shot from behind the wicket (???), lots of missing boundaries etc - wouldn't have thought "highlights" were that hard to get right
NoBig questions today
- Will the Aussies Collapse
- Will Jimmy Anderson get a wicket in this innings
- How long will it rain
- What will @CartyDurham have for his Lunch/Tea/Dinner

Thought Boland would go well on thisI don't know that you can assume Cummins and Hazlewood will bowl the same way England's fellas did on this wicket.
I was reading this and thought, what an optimistic chap, I might have a go at that.England far from out of this. If they restrict Australia to about 400, they will be thereabouts early tomorrow. It is all about the second Aus innings. If they run through Australia then, they will chase it down, which was the whole point of them batting 2nd.
Then you have the weather. Chances are, this game ends in a draw. Then Australia is still only 1 up and they have 3 tests to rectify that.
Stokes only failed last game, so that he can turn up in game 5 and prevent Australia from winning the Ashes and enhance his reputation as the man who does the impossible.
I wonder how much of England's attitude is influenced by McCullum ..He probably does view it as just another game ."The UK papers are a picture of doom and gloom on Thursday after England suffered what’s been labelled as the “worst day of the Bazball era” against Australia at Lord’s"

Nobody knows but from experience of a damaged knee I'd say he needs a major operation on it and if he has it after ashes he won't be fit till next summer. Even then it may not work fully.I haven't been able to find this info any where but what is the issue with Stokes knee? Did he have a tear/strain or is it just over use?
Yep I know the terrors of knee injuries. Currently recovering from a partial tear in my right knee. Luckily didn't require surgery but my concern with Stokes is the damage he is doing to it now. Anyway,as a neutral I hope he stays fit for the whole series!Nobody knows but from experience of a damaged knee I'd say he needs a major operation on it and if he has it after ashes he won't be fit till next summer.

Now that’s a “hot take”England far from out of this. If they restrict Australia to about 400, they will be thereabouts early tomorrow. It is all about the second Aus innings. If they run through Australia then, they will chase it down, which was the whole point of them batting 2nd.

India looks a tour too far in winter. Be a baptism and a half for Pope as captain.Yeah my gut feeling is that Stokes needs an operation and/or lengthy time on the sidelines
He was obviously unfit in New Zealand and during the IPL but decided to put off whatever is required in order to play in the Ashes
Yeah, why not?“Is it even wrong to be exalted in someone's celebration when they are pointing towards their own dressing room?”
It has already and Lords has marvellous drainage but I can't see them starting on time unfortunately and there's still a 50/50 chance of more before lunch.I'm predicting it'll stop by 10am
"Don't care" would also have been an acceptable answer to at least one of these.No
