I like Bairstow, especially as a one-day keeper/batsmen but in a test match, you need a specialist keeper, too many mistakes for my liking, letting Khawaja get away with the first over miss in the 2nd innings, cost them the test match, please note, I said "them" not "us" |
Foakes should be in from day one. |  |

A huge gamble from Stokes on day one.
Every ex player said at the time that he was crazy to declare when he did.
A learning curve for him. [Post edited 21 Jun 2023 7:17]

| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

He has always attacked from the first day of his captaincy, most of the time it has come off, this one didn't. I'm not going to knock him because in test cricket there are so many variables the game changes all the time, if the catch hadn't popped out of his hand we would probably have won. His win rate is incredible, hopefully the next test will have it back on track. |  | | |

I don't think it was a mistake that first evening - the Australian openers didn't want or expect to be put in at that stage of the game.
It didn't come off as expected, but it gave Broad 2 attempts at his "Bunny" Warner.
England's lack of runs came from the 4th afternoon - when some of the batsmen went from "Bazball" to complete reckless batting!!
But from anyone's differing opinions, that was was Test Match cricket at its best.
That final day was the complete opposite of "Bazball" but "old style" Test Match cricket. | |

England could have won that, Bairstow missed easy stumping in 1st innings, Root and Stokes unlucky not to hold catches in last session. Close very good game. |  |

Thought Beaumont could have tried to stay a bit longer to get at least parity. That said, what a knock. She must have been knackered. |  |

Out scoring them in the first innings would have been such a massive psychological blow to the Aussies, it didn't happen and now they will probably win, a great opportunity missed. | | | |

They certainly motored in the remaining overs yesterday. Agreed, it’s the Aussie’s to lose now, which they won’t. | |

decent effort overall by the girls, so mistakes that came from lack of test match practice and experience. The start of the 2nd inns for Aussies was the difference, they let them get away to fast.
I'd still rather see it played in the middle of the series or have 2 matches 1 at end 1 at the beginning | |

No spinner in the next test unless you class Root. Does this suggest they've gone for a pacy wicket to nulify Lyon | |

England team to play Australia in second Test at Lord’s:
1. Ben Duckett, 2. Zak Crawley, 3. Ollie Pope, 4. Joe Root, 5. Harry Brook, 6. Ben Stokes (capt), 7. Jonny Bairstow (wk), 8. Stuart Broad, 9. Ollie Robinson, 10. Josh Tongue, 11. James Anderson
There was talk before the 1st Test that England would go with a 4 man pace attack at Lords - and that Root would be used more in the series as a spinner - but that was before Ali was recalled from retirement. | |

Interesting to see the comments on the racist cricket establishment
Seems almost as bad as the WRU where black players in the 60s were told straight they d never play for Wales

The toss is going to be massive today, with that green top and the overhead clouds.
Australia's Ashes record at Lords is pretty impressive.
P 37
Aus won 15
England won 7
