I don't like a concussion sub and certainly not when the fucker came out to bat again. If you are retired hurt, you are retired hurt. That has always been the case and we shouldn't swap now.
I don’t think we can win, but we can shift the momentum for the next game. Stokes’ hundred was excellent.

We wouldn't have substitutes in football on that basis. Sport, generally, is taking concussion far more seriously than it used to, and that can only be a good thing in terms of preventing problems in later life as happened to Jeff Astle, among others, and about a million American footballers. He felt he was okay to bat but now feels he should be looked at. You shouldn't take any chances with a head injury. It's not like they've gained any advantage anyway, losing their best batsman.

The very positive takes are Stokes and Archer. Those two in top form are enought to defeat the Aussies in the 3rd Test providing....providing Smith is sent home.
How long before they shake hands and call it a draw? There’s nothing happening really.
