Tuffers - “I fancy Anderson to do really well on this wicket.”

Distinct lack of wickets from James Anderson.
Terrible, unprofessional decision from England management to stick with James. Some very poor selection decisions have contributed to Ashes being kept by Aussies.

I make that 1 wicket in about 60 overs now.

Stokes strikes me as distinctly boorish and unintelligent. Perfect for Bazball when things are going well, or backs are totally against the wall, but lacking in any sort of nous when margins are fine and a bit of thought is required.

Anderson's ineffectiveness in this Test has been deafening. But I guess the others haven't been so brilliant either.

Bit much that. Seems to me Stokes thinks quite deeply about the game. In recent games they’ve consistently got Australia out for lowish scores in spite of flat pitches.

Labuschagne 9 from 82 balls, that's how good the bowling's been.

We’ve held them up but we need a big session now, 2-3 wickets required.

Odd one with Anderson. Coming into the series I don't think anyone wouldn't have placed him as our number 1 bowler. So do three and a bit ineffectual tests really made it such a bad decision to keep picking him?
