England v India - Third Test, 10/07

4 more

I would love Netflix or Amazon doing one of those behind the scenes documentaries and to hear and see what goes on after dismissals like today

Do they literally just go back, sit down and have a laugh

It’s the repetitive nature which to me indicates the coaching staff are not implanting any discipline

Time and again Crawley, pope , brook get out in the same way

Brook has got the ability to rack up good scores but Crawley out with nothing shots at nothing deliveries is criminal. He seems to offer nothing.

Can't get why Brook tried to sweep a fast-medium delivery which pitched on middle stump 🤣

Because he's f***ing stupid

If he wasn't good at cricket, he'd still be repeating year 7.

McCullum is waiting for them, who then starts talking about their golf swing.

Playing second division cricket and playing grade cricket isn’t going to make him any better at test cricket.

He’s going nowhere unfortunately. There isn’t anyone making a huge case to replace him.

If I was an English CC batsman I’d be throwing myself at batting top 3. Some of the best ones in CC are hiding away at 4/5 when they’ve got absolutely no chance of ever displacing 4/5 in the England team.

Well @Voice of fair play whats your thoughts on that ;)

I think as in T20 where everybody wants to open, in test cricket everybody or at least the more quality players want to bat 4 or 5.

It’s probably the reason why teams all round the world in the main have a less quality top 3 than they may have in the past.

Personally I think any new middle order batsman should start at 6 to give them half a chance, even the likes of Ponting started there.

Any senior batsman in a team should take more responsibility and move up the order.
 
Before the Edgbaston Test Duckett said that it was a maturing team that had now learned when to attack and when to absorb pressure. Clearly he was talking utter shit or they’re just thick as shit.
