England vs India (fourth test) The Oval

Agreed. With Woakes in the side is there really that much of an issue with Leach coming in? Let’s face it, Moeen hasn’t added anything with the bat so could Leach be any worse

I’ve tried to be positive like as I like aspects of him but if I’m brutally honest he’s been shite
The last few comments made about Stokes are absolutely unacceptable.

Unbelievable.

maybe. I’m on all sorts for my mental health issues like so I feel I’m qualified to comment more than yourself
 

Left arm spinner causing problems, if only we had one
We're not bowling last on though, are we?
It’s definitely doing more for Bumrah today than it has for days. Whether that’s solely down to the bowler or the ball/conditions who knows.
Both, I think. Though the surface is now dry enough to offer reverse. Massive. He has been the best bowler on this deck for the whole game though.

We’ll no doubt have this cycle again where he’s dropped, we have a year without him in the side and then the clamour will return to have him included and he’ll bowl predominately shite, get out with the same stupid shots and get dropped again.
 
The reward for failure will be playing the next game. . . What a complete mess England cricket is.
 
Allround poor performance really. Awful fielding, poor batting and bowling as a team. Kolhi dropped in first innings,awful bowling at the tail, wasted wickets in 1st batting innings, lack of variation and poor bowling in 2nd innings and frailty shown again on our batting

His batting is unacceptable for the talent he has like

that shot in the first innings man

Be fair now, nobody has said anything is wrong with him missing the series and not playing due to his mental well being.
Posting video games and playing video games when your finger is recovering and England are getting battered is probably not the best.
 
f***ing hell ya cant be calling stokes out cause were getting pumped like 🤣🤣

Thats bang out of order.

don’t think anyone’s calling him out, I just feel for root that’s all

as it wont be taken into consideration when assessing the result will it?

yep just this
 
It possibly might mate put been positive sensible positive also opens up our chances of a win too.

I think if we lose a couple of wickets quickly then change mindset, but first mindset should be to win with all ten wickets in hand

Hameed’s wicket was an example of trying to show that positive mindset but it’s probably opened the door for them.

My view hasn’t changed since 11am - we should have played for the draw.
