Cricket: International Discussion Thread

England have 3 wickets left 37 runs needed. Two new batsman.
 
England threw this game honestly. When they started the batting today it was aggressive but a bit reckless at times.
 
India win. Well done Siraj.

I wonder whether anyone will question mister Brook's brain-dead dismissal that lead to this collapse. Or will we just hear bazzball bazzball blah blah.

They threw it away yesterday. In total control with Brook and root. Brook decides to commit Kamikaze and the collapse follows.

And yet when they started today it wasn't completely gone. They came out guns blazing maybe scared of the new ball and threw reckless shots and wasted wickets. Then when the injured Woakes came in suddenly they were forced to play safe. They should have just done that for the start today and chipped away the really small total.

Poor decisions cost them the game from yesterday. Hate to say it but just like the Proteas at times. Doing everything you can to lose.
 
Another great series. It will be a while before we see something this good again.

The next decent to watch cricket is the ashes in Australia. That should be 4 - 1 to the Aussies. If England are lucky.
