If they’re so bothered about batting depth then play Moeen Ali.

played in the blast for Worcs last night and in Englands T20 squad coming up

He’s in the T20 squad. He’s a decent spinner and a better than average number 8. Problem solved

Something isn’t right with him - came in for 1 test in India then left

And the crowd need to learn some new songs. Trotting put the same 3 songs. Getting pretty boring.

I’m at the point where I would happily flog everyone singing that godawful “don’t take me home” dirge.

Going well at Edgbaston...

A nice juicy, wide half volley will take care of Crawley

England trying to make sure this is done in plenty of time for tomorrows football, might even get to see the 2nd half of tonights Denmark game at this rate

So when do we start to think that Silverwood is just another Moores - decent at county level , not good enough at international level and when can we point out that Root just isn’t good enough as a captain

The get out is that we are watching an Eng side missing some first teamers. And NZ too btw.

However it shows there isn't much talent left in the Eng locker for Test Match cricket.

Silverwood was always unproven and was mainly hope that he would go on to better. Not the biggest Root captaincy fan here but hard to be too critical in current circumstances, cupboards pretty bare once you take a handful of our better players out. Who do you replace him with?

I guess if they branch out there might well be some talent

I guess Abell is the next Hildreath

hardly a compelling option is it

Buttler if he bats 6 and doesnt keep?

England all out by 10.59am, at least the ECB can not worry about the refunds by not finishing last night

It means I have time to mow the garden before heading in to watch my son’s match.
reassuring to see a half depleted Kiwi side has rolled us over in half the time
