You’ll watch him for another 10 years and you’ll like it - Brendon McCullum probably.

Embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing.Washington 4-22
Incoming Bashir 0-50 from 10 overs
Read my post. Bazball approach doesn't work against a quality bowling attack. Of course they're better bowlers and I thought and hoped that England were trying to adapt in the 1st innings.
Apart from Bumrah stats indicate that the rest of attack aren't world beaters.

Hes basically Phil Tuffnell but without the ability to spin the ball.
Or a personality.

Duckett played the same way he plays every innings, which has led to him being called the best all format opener in the world. He has an excellent average. Even Cook got out for shit scores.
Crawley isn’t good enough, nowhere near.

I agree with the consensus here. I don't feel 193 is enough.
but you never know.. this is test cricket

Fair play to the India attack who kept it very tight. A couple of truly shan wickets to give away amongst that lot though. They'll fancy the chase, I hope we actually make a fist of it and bowl properly. I have an awkward feeling they'll find the boundaries easier to come by than we did.
Anyone who thinks India aren’t a good team are being obtuse

Seems to be a worldwide shortage of decent tailender batsmen.

They're a good team, but we've dealt with far better Indian teams in home conditions. They're good, but they're certainly beatable. NZ proved that

Sorry marra, meant to reply to the person you replied to
Root, Stokes, Brook, Archer, now probably Smith, Carse etc could all chin test cricket off and make a fortune. There’s far easier ways to make good money from cricket than test cricket.

I never said he wasn't good enough, just he gifted his wicket, as he often does.

It’s a tricky total. However I expect India to apply themselves and knock it off maybe three or four down.
Let’s hope the bowlers totally blow that view out the water

62.1 overs
That was in old money an innings in domestic short form game
Yes the pitch is up and down but really they couldn’t see a day out ?
We are not talking peak windies pace at one end and warne/murali at the other
Today needed graft and batting fir time and sod the rate
They have completely failed but we all know , no batsman will be left out unless injured

Will exactly going down into later stages of games you need a competent spinner they first 5 or 6 are better than ours.
They have better fast bowlers as well.
They could be a reason we losing not as good spin bowler not as good fast bowlers.
Just a thought like
