Fair play.

Watching sport at the minute is a challenge and England are taking it to new levels here ....... anyway I’m off to see what I’ve got left in the chocolate drawer! Hope there’s a snickers or 5 left otherwise I’ll be raiding the kids supplies 😊

I'm sorry to say but Dom Bess is not good enough yet, sure he has potential but he is far far too inconsistent currently, he bowls too many full toss's and short balls.

To be fair to Dom Bess he had a decent game in the first test taking 5 wickets. He was then dropped for the 2nd test and then left out for the 3rd test on a spin bowlers dream of a pitch, no wonder his confidence was shot. Poor management has let him down for me but he’s lost his place now so will need to go back to his club and put the work in.

Useless, spineless tossers.

Didn't expect us to win the series, but I expected us to put up a fight. India are going to win 2 tests in the length of time 1 test should take. Their bowlers and wicketkeeper have scored more runs than all our batsmen combined.

Bess hasn’t bowled well since South Africa and that includes when he took wickets. If you cannot control your length in test match cricket and especially in conditions that are stacked in your favour, then you get found out very quickly.
He has undoubtedly been treat shoddily too I agree. Limited ability and no confidence is a bad combination.
Bess has time on his side but needs to go and learn his trade for sure.
However we really shouldn’t be looking at him. The ‘batsmen’ however...

We don't help ourselves do we ? The amount of poor shots we played makes you think they don't want to be out there.

Let's hope we fair better in the 20/20 at least we will not lose by an innings.
