  • It’s this the worst England team off all time ?? 
    Bowling was dreadful with the new ball and we can’t bat under pressure … against a very ordinary WI side 
    One win in the last 16 Tests and the current World Test Championship table suggests that we are inferior to all the current Test playing nations:

    They aren’t a great side filled with superstars but I wouldn’t say they are ordinary. Roach, Seales, Holder and Mayers would walk into our bowling attack when the two legends aren’t around. 

    Truth is, you take Anderson, Broad, Root, Stokes and occasionally Bairstow out of this side and England are worse than ordinary at this moment in time.

    Someone has to step up and get us to 300 here.

    We had WI 95-6 in their innings and they had us 53-6 in our 1st so it’s possible to rack up some runs once the ball softens if one or two can apply themselves.

    And there you have a case of the keeper getting in the ear of the batsman and the batsman being stupid enough to bite. Another dismissal to a T20 shot.
  • There is stupid and there is stupid. And Foakes you are really stupid.

    And that sledging yesterday of Da Silva's strike rate proved to be pretty embarrassing anyway when he raised his bat for a MoM century

    And they have us 83-6 now
  • FFS Foakes, can't you save the humiliating runouts for when Surrey play Kent
  • And that is the cherry, on top of the icing, on the cake.

    There was never a second run there. Never. Especially given the state of the game.
  • Craig Overton is definitely going to smash a 70-ball ton

  • Could be over this evening. 
  • You have two days to bat and you want to turn a single into two. Just cannot get my head around it.
  • Trying to find a cricket today that our batsmen didn't contribute to:

    Crawley - threw hands at a front foot drive
    Root - threw hands at a backfoot punch
    Lawrence - shouldered arms
    Stokes - left his bat hanging 
    Bairstow - tried to pull a ball that wasn't there to pull
    Foakes - ran himself out

    Those are the sort of dreadful decisions that a bunch of U14s would get torn a strip off for. These are meant to be international cricketers
  • The difficult 31s for Lees again
  • I was going to post earlier that there had been very few players out bowled in this Test, and also in the series. Then in a matter of a few hours 2 of our batsman are clean bowled. 

    Root needs to step down as captain. He had chances to win the previous 2 Tests but decided to bat on for far too long. 
  • At least Lees stuck about. But offered little else and matched his top score of 31.

    Mayers' figures for the match now are a stupendous 20-10-22-6. This is someone who, whilst being almost 30, had only played 10 Test matches. 
  • Fiver for the demon Mayers

    Make that 20.2-10-22-7 plus a run out too
  • Basically 8 for 8.

    Abysmal. 
  • In walks our batting

  • Leach to get a ton here. 
  • Mayers is bowling between 73-77 mph. And we can't play him. 
  • Leach to get a ton here. 
    There's only two days of the Test left
  • Byes with 13 the 3rd top scorer
  • Updated series averages for England

    Leach 49.00
    Mahmood 49.00
    Root 48.16
  • Mayers is bowling between 73-77 mph. And we can't play him. 
    Darren Stevens' latter career explained by English batsmen
  • We've been destroyed by Bolland in Australia, and Mayers in Greneda. Surely the type of seam and swing bowler we ought to be really familiar with?

  • Trescothick saying let’s not judge the team on one day because they’ve done a lot of good in the first two tests. I love the man but the first two tests were not result pitches. This one is and they’ve failed. 
  • Truely awful.

    You can bet your bottom dollar that privately he won't be quite so supportive.
