*Official* Fourth Test (Old Trafford, Manchester) 19-23 July

Used to think that Cummins is far superior to Bumrah as a test bowler after losing the last test in England and the series to South Africa.

Well, at least Bumrah was not hammered like this even if he went wicketless!

Don't think the weather will save Australia here

England should make around 200 - 220 post tea and we are looking at 150 run lead and a day to bowl under cloud cover

Also it's not like we are certain to lose the last two days. Australia should have been declaring now

England should bat at least the rest of the day...if they have a lead of 150+, they can probably bat an hour or so tomorrow morning, expand it to ~300 and have a crack at Australia the rest of the day tomorrow...

I can’t help feeling this will be like the women’s Ashes. England the considerably better team overall but Oz manage to retain the urn through sheer luck.

Here we go....

1) Australian Bowlers have almost folded EVERY time England go on the attack. Cummins was the only bowler offering resistance now he is out of form its looks very weak

2) The Short ball. Australia have done it wayyy to often England are used to it and have adapted now and its not getting the results for Australia like it did 2 tests ago

3) Cummins captaincy or lack of it has effected his cricket, it's clear to see, after the 2nd test

4) Josh Hazelwood is fodder in these conditions has bowled tat all throughout. You did the right thing dropping him only to panic because you don't think Murphy has what it takes

5) The only reason you are 2-1 up is because of Pat Cummins (Batting 1st test, Bowling 2nd test) Smith aside from the ton has been woeful. ML has got decent starts but hands his wicket over. Warner had 2 good knocks and even one of them hasn't been a 50

You have serious issues and i don't think you guys realise it
