KP couldn't look more unsure if he tried.

[spangley1812]

Were in some trouble here.............

[PaulWinch again]

We need to be more aggressive here, all of this blocking is getting us nowhere. If and I hope he doesn't come in, but if Morgan does come in I think he should look to attack.

[PaulWinch again]

Another fine display KP, out. For fucks sake.

[spangley1812]

Get KP out of the team and bring in James Taylor

[PaulWinch again]

Right Morgan it's time for you to step up. We have got to be more aggressive, this is appalling.

[spangley1812]

I agree Paul.......

[PaulWinch again]

Right that's it Morgan out of the team, fucking dreadful.

[spangley1812]

I think so but bring in Bopara He isnt test class.............The bowlers have been getting the batsmen out of trouble for ages. I hope we dont regret that waste of a review by KP as well

[PaulWinch again]

Bopara in for Morgan, because he is offering absolutely fuck all.

[PaulWinch again]

I think so but bring in Bopara He isnt test class.............The bowlers have been getting the batsmen out of trouble for ages. I hope we dont regret that waste of a review by KP as well

No but he's the batsmen on tour and he's got a better record than Morgan.

[spangley1812]

How much longer would you give KP Paul...............

[Chris Smith]

This is painful to watch, they look like rabbits in the headlights instead of the number 1 team in test cricket. They need to be more positive after tea but then shake up the batting line for the next one.

[OzVilla]

Well this is turning into an abject lesson in how not to chase down a score.  We've just let them bowl at us and not put them under any pressure.

Morgan's shot was particularly loose, bat coming down at an angle, back foot over towards square leg, just about sums up why he's not a Test Cricketer imo. His technique is awful, particularly when under pressure.

We can still win this but now we'll need to bat well to do it.

[PaulWinch again]

How much longer would you give KP Paul...............

I'd get him in the nets and make him practice, but at least he had a really good year and the same goes for Bell. Morgan didn't have a remarkable year. I'm not writing off Morgan's test career, but he needs to go away and work on his technique.
