We’ve about as much chance of winning this as Brian Potter winning the 100 metres in the next Olympics.
WTF was Root thinking of. Dancing down the pitch to Lyon’s 3rd ball, all the good work yesterday undone in a moment of stupidity. Clueless.
If Stokes and Bairstow stay in until 1430, we win, they don’t need to score many or quickly, just no stupid shots, this could be for both of them career test defining and the Ashes, this is our last chance.
Hey, look everybody!
Barry’s indulging in #sportingjingoism.

Just stating the obvious.

Tremendous session for us, this could define the wholes series, as I say stay in till 1430 and we should win, I’ll happily join Brian at the starting line up.
You’re kidding yourself even entertaining the thought. #sportingjingoism in action. Have a word with yourself. Mentally weak we’ll fuck it up.
If they do fuck it up they will be so, fine lines, the opportunities we’ve had this series to put the Aussies to the rack and we haven’t shows so, they won’t get a better opportunity. The difference between hero and villain is close in sports but there are nuances, this isn’t one of those times, win hero, fail villain.
You seem to think they don’t know that.
Have you seen the press?
So where does the fine line between mentally strong/mentally weak sit?
Is it win/lose?
Do the mentally weak never win?
If they do win are they mentally strong?
Can winners never be losers?
What is the point in these dichotomies?
Is it just Bazzisms?

In this series that fine line is Steve Smith, is he playing? We all know that.
So male.
Bairstow given out caught but survives on review.
