Disagree mate, I think there's nowt between us and this series could go either way. Despite being 1 nil darn I fancy us to turn it rarnd. We should've won that 1st test, we had em in their 1st innings then let em off hook. Jimmy Andersons injury was the difference imo. Now we have Archer in as a replacement and Moeen Ali been dropped thank fuq. It will get better
Root's captaincy worries me P&M and the lack of application with the top order of our batting .
Smith , Lyon and their quicks give them the edge for me .
Somebody from the England ranks needs to step up and be the man , Botham and Flintoff style and I'm not seeing it .
I sincerely hope you are right though mate .
I've just watched the highlights from yesterday and the battle between Archer and Steve Smith .
If you get the chance to watch it you will see test cricket at it's finest .
Archer was bowling at 95mph and Smith took a heavy blow on the arm before another rocket almost took Smith's head off and he had to retire before bravely resuming .
A fantastic battle between sheer pace and a class batsman .
Cracking stuff .
Got a game on now haven't we , OZ currently 23 for 2 with Archer bowling like an express train and both wickets to his name .
Archer scares the shyte out of me never mind the OZ batsman .
