True

I’m loving a good old fashioned pommie test crumble today though

Hope the tail doesn’t wag

 

[Foxholer]

Because he'll be in about the time a normal #3 or 4 would be - about 90mins into the innings?

See what I mean?!

 

[Karl102]

Hope so.... may still struggle for runs... not stuck on our top order atm.... Get through the new ball and it could be good!

When I said top order.... I also meant middle and lower as well 😂🙈
No answers at the minute...

For a side who most of us have been saying cant bat in test cricket, they have managed to underperform even the most pessimistic views lol. all out for 67 on a flat one in sunny conditions

Horrendous, utterly utterly horrendous, players coaches and selectors not to mention those at the ECB should be embarrassed, instead theyll trot out a bunch load of the same old cliches and nothing much will change

3rd time in 7 tests this year England have been bowled out for 100

Only one man in double figures.. total less than Labuschagne ...

But dont worry, Australia to be all out before end of day and then our openers will get centuries and we will wrap this up on Sunday

How many times has an individual batsman scored more than the opposition team?

If only it was 100 ! Something drastically wrong with our red ball cricket. When did they last score 400 runs in an innings.
Relieve Root as captain, drop him to bat at No 4, and wheel out Gooch Boycott and Cook

 

[Paperboy]

Buttler if batting at 7 has to keep. For me he makes way for Foakes to Keep and get Bairstow to concentrate on his batting.
Not seen enough of Sibley but if hes the next cab of the rank then him for either Denly or Roy. Which ever one stays bats 3 and Root to 4.

Pick anyone but Root as captain!

 

[AmandaJR]

off you pop then Jinxy#

i'm delib not watching, but that not working either, so off to hit some balls

Ha ha. I am responsible for the first two wickets as each time I went to make a cuppa David shouted "someone's out" and the next time "you need to stop moving"! When I asked who was out "a batsman" (cricket not for him). I am not responsible for the embarrassmant that ensued and so pleased I missed it despite a 5 hour round!

Must be up there as one of England's worst ever days today.

Not unexpected however with that top order. Middle order deciding to impersonate top order was not what was needed today.

Hope the penny drops for Root today with Archer cramping up. Lucky it wasn't more serious, last thing we need is him getting a stress fracture or some other related injury.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Diabolical day and everything that is wrong with the England team that has at best papered over the cracks for the last couple of years. In my opinion, it needs reviewing from the top and the selectors downwards. Sadly I doubt anything will change
