England v India (2nd test) Lords

[Boo]

I’d have Malan and Vince in the top 3

our 2 most techinly correct batsman

knee jerk but I’ve said it

they don’t get 7 ducks in a year

In theory, but we just know that Vince would be out from a loose drive.

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Watch when things don't go his way he's a cry baby. I remember when he trapped a ball once and claimed a catch. Clearly hit the ground. He whined on like a child. Can you imagine following Captain Root into battle? I can't.

I got ripped by a few for this at lunchtime-ish. After witnessing the England captain in tears after the match....anyone care to comment?

yeah you were wrong then and wrong now

terrible posts, out of order

He is the most caring selfless captain we’ve ever had

if you don’t like his tactics or rate him that’s completely fine, but don’t have ago sat the bloke

he’s complete quality who do anything for his team mates

 

[TravellingMackem]

imagjne what Ali Cook would have averaged if he was Indian or Australian

over 50 without doubt

He’d have been pressured into the IPL as an Indian and failed dramatically

I am at a loss by your comments. Are you Mrs Root?

 

[TravellingMackem]

Fwiw I agree re the declaration I was referring more to their approach yesterday which you criticised which was the foundation that initially saved the game for them and then gave them a chance to win it.

Depends what way you look at it. If we bowled properly at the end they could have been 180-200 all out. If they bat with more purpose, they may have made it to 250 all out. That’s my point - obviously it’s all hypothetical and anything could have happened - could have knocked us off a length and made 350, or could have been bowled out for 100.

you’re canny weird you like mate , no offence

 

[radjee gadjee]

Wouldn’t include Buttler in there. If Foakes is fit I’d have him straight in.

Agree with this. Don’t understand why Foakes hasn’t had more games. Best wicketkeeper batsman in the country by miles.

I long for the days when Vince is out to a loose drive

he was terrible in India

The bloke is carrying us at the moment and has done for a long time. Bizarre you’re criticising him

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

Presented with the evidence of the captian in tears after a bad loss, you deny that he is a crybaby when things don't go his way. Comical.

 

[Jack Torrance]

he’s not

he was terrible in India

He played on some terrible pitches mind

I think he’s been crocked all this season anyway.

I said he was a cracking batsmen and an inferior captain. This test match demonstrated both points.

 

[The Rat]

they all did

again I can’t believe we are talking about our number 7 after that

it makes no sense

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

ill repeat

Repeat away. Makes no sense the second time.

 

[The Rat]

Repeat away. Makes no sense the second time.

I have no interest in being on the same wavelength as you

I don't think his captaining is the problem. The players around him shitting their knickers as soon as the pressure is on is the problem.
