Everything that’s wrong with English test cricket in 2 days A gutless witless batting collapse with no responsibility taken by anyone. A halfwit captain rigidly sticking to one plan regardless - a short leg to Kohli would have made him bat in his crease and critically hamper and pressurise him Pigshit thick captain is one of our better slip fielders but fields all day at mid off to no practical effect while chances go begging. Slip cordon 4 feet too deep for 3 hours is just fucktarded. As ever England needed 14 chances to take 10 wickets which cost at least 140 runs too many. Controversially selected leggy slings down 2 overs of utter filth and strangles one tailender on a seamer’s paradise England need a wicket less morning for this match to last 3 days
I take it you're not impressed .. I agree with a lot of what you say .. Cook has dropped so many catches over the past few months that he must be moved away .. problem is, is he capable of fielding elsewhere after years and years of inactivity in the slips .. Rashid ? .. worth a try, now think again .. good news is Curran. short, sweet and hot .. could develop into a left handed version of Malcolm Marshall

Oh goody, you're here
6 down at lunch - the captain's dismissal unforgivable
I hate being right all the time, does help that I don't wear rose tinted spectacles
From being in a great position mid way through the first day to being beaten inside 3 days.......is RD in charge of the England cricket team ??
Root should stand down as captain & 2/3 proper 5 day batsmen be brought in - not 1 dayers like Stokes & Butler........ffs we have 2 wicket keepers playing.
With that winning fusion of supreme arrogance and risible stupidity Captain Cowardice is again fielding at Mid off, presumably advising Jimmy (500 wickets in test cricket) Anderson how to dismiss Indian batsman who perennially struggle against the swinging red ball, while 3 chumps with iron hands make up the numbers in the slips. And no 3rd man either, defending 193. Beyond parody.
If we hadn't watched England display this passion for capitulation so often before, we'd have to question the morality of what goes on. Yet another dolly goes down in the slips, with the shitforbrains captain gawping effetely from mid-off. It would be easier to understand if he had money on the defeat.
