What a bunch of sad sacks.
Sure it sucks to lose, but it was also a great game, and the series is now well and truly alive.
Umpires make errors, so do captains, batsman, fielders, bowlers. Any one ball could turn a match. That error can occur in the first or last hour of a test. Stokes' innings was tuly great. He took his time to wait for the opportunities and grabbed them with both hands.
Smith will be back next test. Paine has a C next to his name, but it's obvious who is running the show.
I'm looking forward to the next two tests.
