First test - England v India - Edgbaston

garbage that from England. Poking and prodding against a bowler who, lets face it is no more than an average test seamer. They let their heads drop when Kohli batted with the tail yesterday and they haven't got back in the game. They need a leader in the dressing room, not a young lad who doesn't command the respect that a Vaughan or a Strauss would have.
 

I've been busy all morning and just put it on.

What a f***ing shambles.
 
Root, Bairstow and arguably Butler and Cook are our only test standard batsmen, no depth whatsoever to our top order

Stokes is. But he's been out of form since the infamous incident

How the fuck did he and Root survive 58 all out in Auckland?

If that had happened in the 70's, both he and Root would have been out next game.

Root gets some stick but who else do you give it to? Bairstow perhaps

Probably Bairstow. Or give it back to Cook. Negative but demonstrably better at it than Root.

Given the number of batsmen in that team stealing a living, it would be feasible to bring someone in from CC for their captaincy skill.

The most important thing is grinning Trev is exiled to white ball where he excels.
 
Buttler has done absolutely nothing to justify that yet man :lol:

He has the talent, but he’s been back for a handful of games

I hope he scores a ton from here and I look stupid

Not remember man, he got two 50s against New Zealand and anyone who doubted him was a moron.
