Quote from: UK Redsox on June 28, 2022, 09:21:03 AMThis new England attitude will need to be reigned in a bit. eg Stokes' doesn't need to go all out from ball one. His best innings are sometimes slow builders followed by attack.Also, if England are one ahead in the series during the fifth test against Australia, no way should they be taking on a run chase or declaring in the cause of entertainmentMaybe the poor punter who has paid around £300 (tickets plus other expenses) for couple days cricket in that match would want to be entertained?

They might want to be, but they shouldn't be.If England are one ahead in the Ashes and batting in the second innings of the final test, it's the second coming of Chris Tavare that's required
Who’s off to Edgbaston for the India test? I’m going on day 4 and depending on how the game is positioned I will go on day 5 too
England Women probably looking at a first innings deficit in the Test.
