England v India (2nd test) Lords


Great game of cricket with advantage swinging one way & the other.

But our tactics/captaincy today were shocking. Root great batsman, terrible captain.
Shami & Bhumra are true tail-enders who barely know which end of the bat to use. Somehow they pummelled us.

The pitch was like a road today & how a test team could be bowled out on it for 120 in 60 ovs is beyond belief. Their spinner was also ineffectual & didn't take a wicket on day 5. Heads need to roll in the top 6.
 
Lost me rag on Twitter at some Indian fans

it’s me work account too, fuck knows what my boss and my clients are thinking :lol:
Nothing nice about losing a match to wallies like that. They won though so they got what they wanted the sad acts :lol:

Cricket is as much mental as technical mate.
 
Personally I would keep faith with Burns, still think in the last Ashes series he was really good against a brilliant Aussie attack, who imo would have made Sibley look like a club cricketer.

I’ve tried to be reasonable on the top 3 but I’ve hit the wall

they’re not good enough marra, you know that

he’s got 6 or 7 ducks in his last 13/14 innings

get rid for good
It’ll be Pope in for Sibley.

Burns, Pope, Hameed. With Root inevitably being at the crease after 15 minutes in both innings.

yeah you are right like absolutely on the team and the result

people just venting I think, well I am

In a ideal world I would agree, but with all other options available would still have him in, Just!
