Go around the wicket, pitch it short on leg stump and don't have a leg slip?

Alright then

Any reason why we took Leach off after 2 overs?

Because we are floundering, desperately trying to do something, searching for it rather than having a plan.

cos the captain is clueless?

And this

You don't even know what I'm referring to. You seem rather irked today.


And yet last night people expected us to get a lead of that LOL.


You seriously expected that?

Maybe you need to be more descriptive then don’t you?

Are you not irked? If you aren’t then you’re not a very big England cricket supporter.

Love test cricket, and can take the rough with the smooth. Leave all the hysterics to the football crowd.

What I find amusing is a two balls for wickets can be exactly the same, if it's an England wicket it's a good ball, if it's the opponents it's poor batting. It's a bit silly really.

Been some good viewing. Enjoyed Archer getting a 5er, and enjoyed Smiths replacement batting. Shame we haven't seen Smith himself mind, always like to watch the very best. The ball that got Root was beautiful too.

England are 7/2 - think the bloke who decides the odds for Skybet needs sacking.

So no, is the answer then.

That's likely to be the start of Englands next innings tbf.

they probably have enough hopefull/clueless flickers betting on England that they dont need really long odds.

You're wrong but no harm done.

Very entertaining watching Bob Willis and Tony Blair In ‘discussion’

Alright then

Yday, going for runs galore, bowlers struggling, and we've got four slips.

Threatening to turn into a bit of a partnership Labuschagne and Head.

The former is excellent. Can't believe he hasn't featured throughout.

when they almost literally only had smith batting and his replacement is the second best batsman in their squad.

I think that might be Root being a tad out of his depth when it comes to tactics with the ball.

Imagine if they'd both been batting. We would have been ground into the dirt. Some odd selections going about at the moment.

Dear me, Botham says that's the fourth time we've been out for less than 100 in 2018 and 19 alone.

yeah. I'm very worried that this is what we will be facing in the final two tests.

When is the last time we had test match openers?
