Let's hope we can have them all out for 120 as well. Whatever, this game won't see day 4!!!!


I can argue until I’m blue in the face that 9 wickets should not be falling to spin in half a day on day 1 of a test but some of the batting was unbelievably poor.

I got this totally wrong. Made erroneous assumptions about the pink ball and conditions.

We are not playing well , batsmen poor apart from Crawley.

Bowlers not threatening and only one spinner with four pace bowlers.

Who picked this team. ?

Why has Root not bowled ?

We have lost this match on first day.

I have to admit I liked the look of the team given my assumptions about what the pink ball and conditions would do.

Turns out I was very wrong and now the team looks totally unbalanced to say the least.

England all out for 32! You heard it here first!
Another poor test match pitch I’m afraid.

I did ask the question why Root had not bowled well five wickets for eight runs tells us what a crappy pitch this is.

All over in two days is that a record ?
