    Great,

    Graham Thorpe said England will not make wholesale changes to their side for the final two Tests.

    "We've got to keep working with these players because these are the best players we have," he told TMS.

    heard the same interview. i dont know a huge amount about the county game and who is knocking on the door but from what he was saying there doesn't seem to be anyone.

    He obviously watched "The Verdict" on Sky last night & agrees with Trott. Willis was 100% in the opposite camp & said only Root & Stokes are good enough for the Test team.

    In what world would Thorpe, or any other coach say anything else in the middle of a test match, in the middle of a live series?

    Something needs to change quickly. We’ve got our tickets for Newlands and Port Elizabeth. Although actually, never seen us lose overseas (Oz 2011, SA 2015, St Lucia 2019) 

    After his his performance and effort yesterday, could stokes be captain? 
    Oooh nice.  My favourite part of the World.  Proper handy schedule putting on the two tests at either end of the Garden route back to back like that!

    Overthrows, dropped catches, no balls. 

    Even the fundamentals are poor.

    I don't know if I am being unfair on him but Root has never impressed me much as a captain.

    Labuschagne has played well. But the guy definitely has 9 lives.

       Carbon copy of Lords. Albeit he was under more pressure there. Archer softened him up but couldnt follow it up with his wicket.

    I'll say one thing.The fella has balls of steel. Could you imagine Roy standing up to such scrutiny?

    @suzisausage - is that you applauding as Stokesy walked back to his spot at the end of his over?

    No, am near there but back row (there are 9 rows) 4 seats from the central screen in the new stand. Dec in England one day shirt. Not far from where stokes was fielding.

    Fielding has been atrocious. Dropped catches , overthrow and misfields leading to 4's. Awful.

    To be fair the two aren't mutually exclusive - they can be the best we have but still not good enough.

    Match figures of 85-8 in a losing side for Archer.  Must feel sick.

    8 and a quarter sessions to get 359 runs. Doable.

    Bob Willis does like to be "controversial". Does he really feel Broad,  Burns, Archer and Woakes aren't good enough?

    England could gave done without taking the final wicker at 12:30. 20 minutes before lunch to survive doesn't fill me with any confidence

    I wondered if there was such a thing as a lunch watchman. 

    Goes hand in hand with not making subs at a corner in football. 😳
