Anyone into the cricket?

Plus, I’ll repeat previous thought - Dom Bess isn’t Test match ready. Am sure he’ll look back at this tour as a great learning experience, but I don’t think a spinner should be learning their trade in the cauldron of a sub-continental tour.

vinnyt77 Anderson going at less than a run a ball. Sublime bowling from him

Dubman

I can see us beating them this time especially if we can get them out for less than 200.

Why aren’t we more ruthless with the likes of bess? Send him the the boundary and get some other cunt in who has even the tiniest bit of confidence. The lad is shot to bits.

vinnyt77

Along_the_Wire Don’t understand it either. With all the other fuckers rotating in and out of the squad over the past 8 weeks, it’s laughable that the England management couldn’t find a seat on a plane home for Bess..

Its a crying shame that Rashid has no interest in test cricket

alistair As a strike bowler, 100%. Still think there’s a need for a pressure builder at the other end. Leach may or may not be the mid-term answer to that, but not the long term…

alistair

vinnyt77 Leach has been ok this winter, best we have got. He survives the purge. Bess shouldn’t. The opening batsmen are a worry. Both Burns and Sibley have now played about 20 tests each and have been found out. I wonder whether its worth giving Malan a go at the test game, not necessarily as an opener. Pope has also had a poor winter

vinnyt77

alistair Yeah - agreed. Best of a bad bunch currently.

Genuinely unsure of the answer with our batters, as not really kept abreast of county cricket the past couple of years. Are there hordes of talented youngsters that Joyce isn’t selecting?!

Along_the_Wire

Pope’s a load of shit too. And he’s got a dreadful Alf.

alistair

vinnyt77 Crawley is a keeper and needs a run. Talented player

vinnyt77

Well this is going well…

alistair

vinnyt77 I have just turned off. Nightmare

Dubman

Each time I go and make a brew I come back and we’ve lost another wicket..will India get into bat.

vinnyt77

Dubman 50/50 at best!

Will be a pretty shaming turn of events if they lose by an innings, having had India a hundred and forty odd for six…

Along_the_Wire

Fucking shite. Most of the the team simply haven’t been good enough and we inexplicably sent two critical players home in Butler and Ali. I don’t give a fucking about the T20 World Cup.

The coaching staff and the selectors don’t have a fucking clue. This is embarrassing - we’ll get ripped a new one through the summer and in Australia

One positive
Dan Lawrence has done himself a lot of good in this Test. Has the temperament

Lol.

Take it you didn’t see how he got out in the first innings?
