As a fan would you rather a team go for it and lose or play for the draw?
There is no one

I’m not expecting him to be amazing but I think we need another experienced player in the side.
Some have criticised Roots captaincy but if he isn’t captain then Burns is probably the next likely candidate. Pretty desperate situation
It’s not winnable from here, so the draw

Well this all appears to be going spiffingly well
A Rorke’s Drift defence is required to get anything from this game ( including the dropping of catches en masse)

Hameed’s feet aren’t moving. The ball before the drop was a worry despite the commentary team saying it was a good sign (granted they’re watching in real time in person). He nailed it to cover but it was all hands and no foot movement.
He’s dicing with death

Bairstow, Buttler, Curran, Ali and defence in the same sentence...Well this all appears to be going spiffingly well

This is a real test for Hameed. If he comes through it , it will really give him a boost.

Nerves can only be the answer given his form this year and the account from the players bowling to him in the nets

We're going to do it!
I meant in general, I would rather watch a side go for the win and lose than be negative and play for the draw.
In general yeah. They should have had a go against NZ. They can’t here

Honestly mate I don’t know if you have ever watched test cricket before. 5th day, quality bowling attack, 5 test series. If you lose trying everything you can to save the game that’s one thing but if you lose trying to go for it changing batting orders etc when you have 1pc chance of winning that’s quite another. Yes put away the bad ball which helps as it can lead to more defensive fields etc.
