Striker
When was the last time he produced a match winning/ saving innings though?
A while back I know. But a 100 or 150 is futile when the rest of them are struggling to make it to double figures

People calling Root after this innings
Why Ramprakash, I'm not defending him but the only people to blame for a poor batting display are the batsmen themselves, I would ask the question as to why we even need a batting coach, what do they do?, I think Ramprakash should go: he has to carry the can for what's happening on the batting side.
Heads must roll.

And you
I retract my statementI said it after his dismissal.
Questioning his captaincy, not his place in the team.

I really think they need like Andy Flower back in charge or someone like that
Never got the Bayliss appointment, maybe they needed like a year to relax and enjoy their cricket after the last flower regime got intense, but its international cricket, it just seems too easy ride for them
I maintain that Bairstow and Root should not be at 3 and 5 though, its making it worse
Agree to a certain extent here. They've lost all element of toughness. They certainly need a character like that - and someone who isn't afraid to be attritional when that's what's required.
His average will be good when he retires likeYep. Inevitable. Root got his 50 though lads
Feel for Buttler here.
He wouldn't have been my choice but in this situation there is no way (realistically) that he can win. So, if he's out soon I won't be on his back.
Having said that, sadly I think Ricky has run out of road. Probably the solution lies in a new no 3 as well and a new opener.
Maybe/probably Stokes should have returned from the IPL sooner to play CC.
Probably England should have had a practise match against a County side and they would have been better for it - but there are obvious difficulties there.
Maybe some thought should go into why Pakistan bowlers were more potent than Broad and Anderson - both have had plenty cricket in the CC already, they should have been ready.
