    Curran is the weak link bowlers build pressure for him to jsut throw it away literally. I understand he has the potential to be a fantastic player but Mahmoud is such a bigger threat.
    With Mahmoud in place of Curran, you have a  really long tail, that's the problem
    Curran is what we used to call a bits and pieces player see dermot Reeve and Derek pringle 

    As a bowler does he have the potential to bowl a side out eg take 5 or 6 wickets in an innings? No 

    Can he score a test match century here and there ? Probably not

    As an all rounder he doesn't compare to stokes or Ali or even Woakes 

    He should concentrate on the IPL circus 
    I might sound harsh but I know I am right 

    Largely agree. Useful player to have in and around the squad and on his day has a habit of making things happen. But probably not there yet. Should be looking to turn himself into a Kallis allrounder of he wants to play tests. But I imagine he is happy enough on the white ball circuit.
    asking a lot to turn yourself into one of the greatest all rounders of all time !!!

    Get Moeen on at the two lefties for heaven's sake, Curran is almost unbowlable at this point

    What will we do when Anderson decides to retire?

    Lose more often

    Will be a huge blow but the bowling depth is far better than our batting. Woakes in England is different gravy

    When fit. It's not all been down to injury but the last Test he played in was virtually a year ago.

    I see our openers are going nowhere.

    16 runs off 11 overs.

    As I type Sibley makes an attacking shot for 2. 18 runs off 12 overs. Run rate of 1.5. There is seeing off the new ball and then there is pedestrian cricket. Is John Crawley the batting coach.....

    India were 13/0 after 11 overs yesterday, makes us 3 runs ahead of them and then 14 off 12!

    I might've missed it... why the switch to red lettering from navy?

    Sibley is such a one dimensional batsman. Starve, starve, starve him of runs and then give him one for the trap.

    Sibley out, now 23-1. Indian total a long way off.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Oh dear Hameed!
  • philcafcphilcafc
    Make that 23-2. Hammed out first ball!
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Bring back Crawley I say!
  • Pelling1993Pelling1993
    That's awful Hameed
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Hameed out first ball, Siraj on a hat trick and it's all going horribly wrong
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    That is rather an interesting field Kohli is setting
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    Got to move Root up to 3 I think. Sibley not good enough, and to be fair I'm glad Crawley was rested, his confidence looked shot.
    However where are our openers?
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    ECB needs to have a good long look at what it wants, but please  no more limited over cricket!! 
  • kentaddickkentaddick
    Hameed literally looked like what I would if I went out to bat number 3 in this test match. Zero foot movement, definite nerves.
