The 2 new lads Broad and Anderson have definitely got bright futures in the game!

Johnny Bairstow is a sad indictment of the troubles we have with batting.
With an average of mid 30s (which is prolific for this team) and recent centuries he’s not a surprise selection even though he’s been playing see ball-hit ball.
However, the amount of times he’s bowled through the gate is ridiculous. He seems incapable of defending his wicket at times.

I’m not falling for that one!
I say yes and we fail and then you and the Batsmen will say I jinxed them (well you might but you get my point).😊

We have a very long tail too!

We do. These two need to get us within 25/30. Even then, as long as Root is there he could get us home within 3/4 overs.

Michael Vaughan called it ‘pathetic’’ and it’s hard to disagree. This fundamental flaw in his game is really hard to excuse given his experience. It’s basic stuff really.

I very rarely disagree with what he says about cricket as he’s very honest and spot on the majority of the time.

I fully expect Bairstow to get up to speed but he should have been back earlier and getting in to ‘proper’ cricket mode.

If he didn’t want to come back early then you select Harry Brook who has been in fine form across all formats.
If Harry then takes his opportunity then I’m sorry but that’s tough luck.

What a man Root is!!!
Although I didn’t expect him to, he could have sulked but instead does what he does best!
Outstanding century and a great team man!

What do I know?

Didn't see that coming but Root is just different class. The way him and Foakes knocked off the 61 needed this morning was faultless.

Has there ever been a two day test?


Yep, last year (obviously England lost it!)
