Haven't been watching it today as I was travelling to Scotland but just seen the highlights and it was piss poor. The only saving grace is that we know how poor they bat!
How could that be? I thought they were supposed to be a Division 2 side?If they'd have taken they're catches we'd have struggled to make 100.
Nothing to do with the opposition, it was England's batting. Don't think there was a single wicket that was a result of good bowling, it was down to poor shot selection and lack of concentration.How could that be? I thought they were supposed to be a Division 2 side?
Errmm.... you were saying?Haven't been watching it today as I was travelling to Scotland but just seen the highlights and it was piss poor. The only saving grace is that we know how poor they bat!
West Indies doing pretty well for a team consigned to Division 2 just a few days ago.
Maybe England should be in Division 2 instead..
Awful yesterday but nice the windies are making a show of it. We need to post something similar and go all out attackErrmm.... you were saying?
It's a shame Sam Hain is struggling with the red ball as he is way more talented than any that have been called up recently
If he'd have carried last seasons form on he'd have been in with a very good shout!
I reckon Hameed will be fast tracked back in and they'll try and get him as much red ball cricket as possible to hope he finds some form
If he can get a good end of season for, and carry it into next year he will be in a prime position as some who go to Australia this winter may come back with their chance gone westley and Ballance will be done if they have bad winters ( yes I think ballance may get a touring place) and stoneman will be struggling.
All to play for in the last month of championship fixtures that start tomorrow tomorrow.
Genuinely fear this Ashes campaign is going to be a complete and utter disaster!

England are really lacking pace none of the bowlers are express and the batting looks fragile
For me we have-We've got some excellent batsmen and some very good bowlers, but worryingly, we have a soft underbelly and you are always waiting for the next batting collapse.
Take it for the batsmen, the two that are world class are Cook and Root and the other three are Stokes, Bairstow and Ali?For me we have-
2 world class batsmen
3 good counter attacking batsmen on their day (but it's rare all 3 or 2 click together) usually 1 having a cameo.
1 world class bowler in the right conditions but ageing.
1 bowler (Broad) that one in 10 inns will have a spell and blow away 3/4 of the oppo in a 10 over spell.

Last day. Rough patches on the pitch. Look at the stats historically. Hardly any team is successful chasing over 300.Bit of a risky declaration. They could easily knock off those runs if a couple of batsmen get in. If we got 490, why couldn't they get 322?

Judging by the scores, the pitch is getting easier to play, not harder.
258, 427, 490, ?
