England v India (2nd test) Lords


Silverwood should be fired, he's worse than Moores. Sacked the head of selectors then picked people out of a hat.

No surprise everything went tits up this morning after he'd injected his two pennorth.

Not sure about that. There are no decent batsmen waiting in the wings for him to select.

The odd spot in the side can be debated but Root, Anderson, Stokes and Broad can only paper over so many cracks.
 
Nothing will change if that happens. We hammered these ***** in 2014 and 2018 and have been second best since day one despite winning the toss twice.
My first thought on Thursday was not 'Can we take advantage of decent bowling conditions on the first morning?" but 'Shite, do we really want to bat fourth?'

I’ve never thought that up to now but it would be worth knowing just how much of a say he had on tactics today, because the plan this morning was horrendous. In the space of an hour we went from firm favourites to rank outsiders.

His selection is hideous too, but again I’d be interested to know who has the most say on that.
India have gone a bit here like.
Wicket imminent :rolleyes:

Buttler literally edged less than 20 seconds after I posted :lol:
 
If we escape it’s hard to believe we would be level after 2 tests. They were miles better than us at TB and rain helped us. Here we have had the best of the conditions by a distance and are scrambling to save the game.

They’re a miles better side than us. TB was interesting tho, that was far from a formality. Would have been their highest ever chase in England iirc
