1023 balls - probably India's fastest test match loss?

Yeah I'm just trying to understand the decision. So the courts accepted his self-defence argument that he could step in on behalf of others who were being threatened or felt unsafe because of their sexuality? Or was it more from the circumstances that flowed from that which were that they felt threatened by some other people and in the act of confronting them Stokes relied on self-defence as he himself felt like he was being attacked??

Think it's mostly the jury not wanting to give Australia a genuine all rounder

Oh ok - so they thought missing the Ashes tour was punishment enough. I understand now.

Look like a decent test side one game and the worst team ever the next, never change England. Feels like groundhog day watching England last few years.

They haven't looked that bad. Poor decision to bowl first, Indian batted well, and India seized on good conditions for bowling.

We are about to lose 3-2 to a team we had on the ropes not too long ago. Then we will get whitewashed in whatever country we play abroad for obvious reasons. Looks bleak to me.

Geeze, and I thought that I was a pessimistic kind of guy!

But yes for sure, if you get horse whipped away you need to get your own back at home or you are just a crappy team. I still think England have some potential, but just too many weak spots.

I've thought this for years and reckon it may be >50% over the next 10 years. So often pitches seem to flatten out and batters score more quickly.

Need to bat out two days? Have all the top order edge out like ******s and rely on Stokes and Buttler, what could possibly go wrong

And you guys laughed at me when i said England would lose 3-2, now its 2-2 (once the procession is played out over the next few days). England cant bat.

You say that but what if England go for broke and reverse the entire batting order? They may as well do.

But yes 2-3 looks on the cards now. Dammit.
