keep hearing how much Root has improved as a captain, cant say I can see it lol

Shocking stuff, crap captaincy, dross bowling, lazy fielding. Shadab likes a sweep so lets bowl it exactly where he likes it and gift him a few runs to get his innings going, so dumb. Hopefully it'll improve now the new ball's here.

gifted them 27 runs in 5 overs for no risk when weve picked 4 quicks plus stokes, assume were saving them all for the new nut

in a low scoring game in addition to 2 lives for Shan from Buttler and the 20 odd runs bowling spin last night could all prove very costly

 

[Dan2501]

Shadab looks pretty suspect against pace as well, mental Root would bowl choose to bowl himself and throw runs away. He knows Broad and Anderson were going to take the new ball, so why not give Woakes or Archer 3 overs before the new ball so they can rest before their spells with the new ball?! Like you say, could prove costly in the end.

 

[fundy]

no flexibility at all, get Woakes on asap plse Joe rather than the same old playlist

 

[Dan2501]

This has been so frustrating to watch. We're going to lose another First Test, can see it coming already.

 

[fundy]

Woakes bowling short stuff lol, get a grip Joseph ffs. If youre going with that approach get Jofra on (and maybe use Woakes rather yourself when the no 7 is new to the crease )

 

[Dan2501]

Shadab is such a hack, let him off the hook majorly letting him get 45 there but least he's gone.

 

[Dan2501]

Why's Woakes bowling slower-ball bouncers to a new batsman in a Test? That was a slower ball bouncer right? It just died and spun before it got to Buttler.

Root lost the plot just after half past 1 and seems to have no idea where to relocate it!

3rd tune for Cymbals.....

It's madness. Nearly 2 hours into the session and Jofra's not had a bowl yet. Using Woakes to bowl the short stuff instead which is so strange.

I think he's edged that. Another spilled by Buttler standing up to the spinner if so.

 

[Dan2501]

That's the worst of the lot, regulation keeper catch that, didn't even deviate that much. Owes us a lot of runs after this performance.

Buttler is shocking should be nowhere near the red ball side ... this will no doubt impact his white ball form he’s looking a shell of a man out there

Archer Is another one who looks like he’s in a strop after his misdemeanour ... 81 mph man get Wood in

 

[Dan2501]

Nice from Jofra, should have been on earlier, Buttlers latest mistake not too costly.

 

[Depreston]

Then he sends one down a bit faster and gets a wicket

 

[Dan2501]

Archer on a hat-trick With what's to come he's got a good chance.

 

[Depreston]

mugged right off

Superb innings by Shan Masood, had a few bits of luck but a completely different player to last time he toured here, great discipline when needed but also showed the ability to crack on when needed

If buttler could catch or stump tho........

he cant sadly, but seems irrelevant to his continued selection
