Gosh I love/hate being right all the time.

O’Rourke to Stokes

 

[trundler]

Southee is pish now isn't he

 

[thierry henry]

He should be bowling between overs too. It would make thierry henry happy also.

What even is ‘between overs’. Just keep bowling, you’re out there to play cricket ffs.

 

[King Kane]

O'Rourke is great at bowling that nasty awkward length, only Brook looks like he can handle it and even then it has caused him a few problems.

Brook has not looked like he can handle it. Brook and Pope will both be eaten alive in Australia.

Root can handle this type of bowling. No one else in the England line up can.

 

[thundaboult]

that boy mornewill rorkel makin things happen in the middle overs again aye

 

[Gnske]

These are the hard runs that need to be conceded to earn a wicket

 

[trundler]

York him

 

[thundaboult]

fr how do y'all get Root twice and still fumble the bag

 

[Skyliner]

Southee is like that seagull who never gets a chip.

Root can handle this type of bowling. No one else in the England line up can.

Brook has batted a lot better in this series so far than Root, he has had some luck but he's batted brilliantly in between the drops and the air swings.

I don't see any reason why he can't do the same in Australia next summer, he's getting better as a test batsman while Root is starting to decline now.

 

[King Kane]

Southee has bowled a lot better in this spell, unlucky not to get a wicket.

2 innings isn't really indicative of a decline, Brook has outplayed Root this series though, this series kind of has been a sort of coming of age for him, where team is constantly struggling and the best batter has messed up but he has stood up, very important for his career

 

[Johan]

lmao, Brook making poor Woakes face pacers every over after the first ball

 

[_Ed_]

Southee has bowled a lot better in this spell, unlucky not to get a wicket.

Bowling poorly again now.

 

[Silver Silva]

James Anderson still has more Test wickets than Tim Southee this year.

 

[Skyliner]

lmao, Brook making poor Woakes face pacers every over after the first ball

But he's also allowing him to face Southee.

 

[King Kane]

lmao, Brook making poor Woakes face pacers every over after the first ball

Woakes is no mug even though he has looked like one so far today and now Southee is playing him into form by allowing him to hit a couple of fours.
