Roy, Burns, Denly should be no where near any England team and on recent form nor should Root. The fact that that’s the current top 4 is a bit embarrassing.

Root’s form disappeared half way through the World Cup and he hasn’t got it back yet.

It a lot longer than that. Root is averaging just 33 in his last 31 test innings.

And another shit shot from a player totally out of his depth. This time it’s Burns.

Burns is England's top run scorer this series and is averaging nearly 60.  Only Stokes has a higher average.

But that was a bit shit.

Well the ambition has gone from batting all day (lol) to somehow getting in range of their score.

All we had to do was survive the first hour and then go at them.

Five minutes short of the first hour, twenty for three. 🤨

He’s shit. Poor technique, doesn’t like the short stuff and good bowlers will get him every time.

England doing what it seems only England can do....

once again need Stokes, Bairstow, Woakes, Buttler to dig us out of the fucking big hole we seem to dig for ourselves.

How can we make wholesale changes to our batting lineup when the replacements are probably just as bad? Yes we could try Pope, Sibley and Crawley but we can’t go into a test with such an inexperienced line up.

The fact remains that White ball cricket means that our batsmen no longer have the strong technique required to build a patient innings at test level.

As bad as England have been this morning you have to give credit to Hazlewood and Cummins for a fantastic bowling display.

Having a coach who doesn't give a single fuck about Test Cricket probably doesn't help either.

[Risso]

FFS, never mind losing the captaincy, that twat Root wants fucking off altogether.

That was the instructions from above though wasn’t it? We need a more balanced approach, test cricket is still the ultimate form of the game.

[cdbearsfan]

Nobody on this site would have got out to that delivery, FFS.
