Cummins is a crap captain.
Their tactics have been all over the place - if they existed in the first place

We better have a new captain in a couple of years

Agree that Cummins' decisions and tactics haven't been great at times but in fairness they've managed to get us into a position where we're a win away from winning the series. Was always a stopgap in my opinion. I'd probably move him on (as captain) sooner rather than later to enable someone else (Head?) to gain some experience as captain before the next major series.

As for bowlers, Broad has done well but English conditions are always going to make it easier for him, The injection* of Wood* has changed things. But I still think we have the more talented bowling rotation and in neutral conditions I'd back our blokes.

To my mind, 2-1-1 after the first four is a fair reflection of where both sides are at. England unlucky with the weather in Manchester, but then so were we in Sydney 18 months ago.

Hopefully everything finally clicks and we make 500 at the Oval.

Edited - stuffed up the quotes.

Surely he can win one toss this series

Murphy in, Green out

Cummins wins the toss and bowls.

WE WON THE TOSS AMAZING

Not a fan of sending England in but will happily eat my words if it comes off.

Especially when we bring in a spinner

Strange decision to send England in with a MURPHY in the team
But then again its been that sort of series

As the camera panned across the English players when their anthem was playing the camera got to Ben Duckett and my wife saw him asked me if he was a dwarf and said he sticks out like dogs balls lined up with his team mates as he is significantly shorter than them.

Who reviewed that ffs

Terrible review

I blame Marnus

Deep point from ball one!

I just don't understand why you don't leave him up a force the batters to go hard through there to score. Who cares if you go for a couple of boundaries. I just don't understand

I thought it was worth a look.

Forgetting about the review Starc has started very well.

I thought today being the last test, bowling first and looking for early wickets early in the innings the deep point would be at regulation point, obviously not.

Worrying start

Put everyone on the fence protect the boundary...

Poms on top

What the **** was that
