England v India (2nd test) Lords

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

Captain got it wrong today simple as that

.....and continuing to get it wrong. Can we have 9 fielders on the boundary for Bumrah.

 

[Voice of fair play]

Only in your mind would that ever happen.

Seriously though mate if they opened with say Buttler and had a little bit of a go and then if they lost Buttler then play normal would that one lost wicket be so bad with the slight chance it could come off?

 

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

nah. Poor post.

Nah, piss poor captain. He is a selfish little boy. Cracking batsman, not a captain.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

If they declared now they is granted a slight chance of winning the game, and winning a game is a much better outcome than drawing

Slight chance!

 

[The Rat]

Nah, piss poor captain. He is a selfish little boy. Cracking batsman, not a captain.

And what does that make you?

 

[SAFC11]

Still bowling too short for the most part

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Nah, piss poor captain. He is a selfish little boy. Cracking batsman, not a captain.

Even if his captaincy is shite that’s OTT. I don’t see how poor tactical decision makes him a selfish little boy

No it wouldn't be so bad, always worth a gamble. But England don't gamble.

WTF has that got to do with anything?

he’s probs the most selfless captain we’ve ever had

some troll just throwing abuse at him. Grow up. If you’ve got nothing constructive to say then don’t say it

A few England players should be feeling pretty silly now.

They were quick to get in Bumrah's face when they thought they were in the ascendancy. However they couldn't back it up, and are now making one of the world's worst tail ends look like a respectable top order.

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've said he's a hopeless captain. Not sure how I can turn that into something constructive.

 

[Steak Pie]

This is just silly now.

What are you on about you daft knacker? Selfish

 

[Jack Torrance]

India might declare

 

[Concordsafc]

Think we should just stick all our lads names in a hat. To see what order we bat in

No but I can’t imagine following anyone into battle really. I reckon ive played under worse captains and fractionally poorer batsmen on a cricket pitch though so don’t think playing under Root would be too much of an issue.
