Playing like a team who know they’re beaten. I was really looking forward to test cricket this year but this is going to retire a few players and confidence will be shot to shit.

When Sibley, Crawley and Pope came into the side I was hopeful we might’ve finally found a half decent top opener but England inability to bat continues. It seems we’re only ever a wicket or 2 away from a total collapse at the top.

Bairstow has somehow managed to keep getting test caps despite being awful for quite a while now, his average over the last 10 innings is under 10. Surely there are some county players worth giving a shot to?

I really feel for Root, he’s the only true world class test player in that side and we’ve seen when the openers manage to see out 20 overs what he can do, unfortunately he’s been in before over 10 in all but the huge score earlier in the series.

Stokes has the ability to do amazing things but he doesn’t have regular steady innings.

Bess and Leach are good spinners but nowhere near world class. Nathan Lyon must be rubbing his hands together waiting for the Ashes at the end of the year. I wonder if all of the focus we put on white ball cricket over the last 4 years has finally caught up with us?

Dire straits.

Stokes and Anderson are world class test players mind.

A bit harsh on Stokes, Jimmy, Leach and Broad saying that Root is the only test class player we’ve got. I’d probably add Woakes to that too despite his overseas record.

I can't think of a time where I'd have even interacted with him

Seems I’m blocked as well. Looked back at my interactions with him and I’m really not sure why to be honest.

Could be for calling him a mag bellend, or when I accused him of jumping on the Blyth Wembley bandwagon, or for reminding him of 4 in a row (little did we know it would be 6) or it might have been for accusing him of not taking long to start stabbing people in the back after bottling a tour midway once the going got tough.

None of which are false

I've had a dig and the only thing I can find is a deleted tweet from Stuart Broad that he's tagged in from 2011 that I've replied to.

All I've said is that he's a plastic geordie with zero class. :lol:
