Yeah

A lot of England regulars weren't playing because of the test though. No Stokes, Buttler, Archer, Wood or Woakes.

Plus they'd already won the series

Plus Morgan was off the field for most of the Ireland innings

Plus Ireland batted well

Plus lolEngland

Probably Inzamam-ul-Haq

I remember watching Javed Miandad scoring 260 at the Oval. He was something else

Mohammad Yousuf was a fantastic bastman as well

Inzamam-ul-Haq for best run out moment ever

Billy Stanlake in the big bash has to be a contender for the best run out moment ever

wicketkeeper who can't catch the ball is an interesting selection alright

Will there be enough play today for Buttler to get himself out?

Great to beat up on the West Indies but England’s batting lineup is not good enough against good attacks

The fact that Stokes bats 4 shows this.

Actually really annoys me that drop in pitches are becoming more prevalent in Australia. When players run alongside the pitch, they can't slide in on soft spongy grass as opposed to unused pitches and you get things like this.

Id like to think that groundskeepers can be better to the point of at least rolling the grass half a strip or so alongside the actual pitch to be firmer.

Not just for running between wickets mind you, but also playing shots along the ground. The first bounce or two of a square drive should come out somewhat quickly, not stuck into the grass obviously.

England can pull off this win tonight but I'm just aghast that Stokes keeps coming on and getting wickets.

I’m more surprised he bowled. We picked a side based on Stokes just being a batsman, hence batting at 4. If he’s fit to bowl, we should’ve picked another batsman instead of a bowler.
