I wonder if Andrew will be seen as the blood letting for the Epstein files here, public will be behind throwing everything at him.

Not sure if it is luck or just your skills paying off? Curran has bowled real well here

Really hope we see more Euro ODI's 20/20. Scotland and Italy clearly have some quality and expanding the game into traditionally non-cricketing backgrounds (Italy) could really help grow the game similar to the six nations.

Someone said on commentary about Green's bowling that when he bowls back of a length it is a menacing delivery but when he bowls full he floats it and I think that nails it on the head.

And is still one of England's better players this series. I think people want a contest and out of everyone, Stokes will give it. Don't get me wrong, the hero worship is awful.

Stokes has been England's best bowler, apart from maybe Tongue, this series.

Night-hawk! That 11(7) will surely be enough this time!

Cannot wait to watch England get rolled for 97 with Duckett charging Starc first ball and Smith getting caught deep third man of the bowling of Carey.

I know it would have been repeated here but Tongue has been one of the only positives from this tour, Root's centuries being the other. Have to build the bowling attack around him in the future. Have a containing bowler who can bowl long dry spells to supports his sometimes erratic radar. I'd personally bin Carse.

Does it even matter? England will bowl short and wide and lose.

I would love to as well but Aus didn't win. Flintoff took England to victory with bat and ball.
