Can you pull up Englands record pre Stokes/baz and post please?

And when have they indirectly claimed to be saving test cricket?

The england bias press are all over it... since Stokes and Baz england home test match pitches have been prepped to be flat and last for weeks let alone 5 days...The balls have been hand picked not to move... and yes i agree its the same for both sides but england were ready for this and packed there side for it.. however even with all this said the world test champions table still looks like this.. and aussies still hold the ashes...(note i am a former fast bowler who might be a little biased about bowlers being smashed round the park)

I don't see the before and after stats there, could not care less about that table.

So they haven't then, I haven't seen much of it in the press either.

The aussie pitches are well prepared for their own team, as it the unmoveable kookaboring ball.

The aussies hold the ashes by virtue of the weather, and it was still a very very entertaining series, its an entertainment industry.

You forgot to mention this, an oversight I'm sure.

Decent effort from England, almost impossible to win here I reckon but they will give it a go. Expect Bumrah to do something special at any time, speaking of special, just how good was Jimmy Anderson at 41

you can never discount this team, they'll go for it and that in itself will cause India to be a little bit nervous and play a little bit conservative, if England can get to 200 for 2 or 3 down it'll one a belting end

You can actually see India are pretty wary by how defensive they are, surely with those bowlers they have too many though. Bumrah is unbelievable.

I am loving Zak Crawley at the moment, the sound of his bat has always been as good as anyones, just needed the right environment.
