Plant the front foot, let the top elbow collapse and compensate by throwing your hands at it? And get out next over?

Delighted that this performance from Bess won't paper over the cracks how awful this team is.

3 quick wickets removed any slim chance of getting 100 lead.
Pakistan have played better than us for 3 and a bit days and throughly deserve it.

Been better in every aspect, even with the couple of comedy moments in the field their catching has been better than England too. We're looking rather average at the moment :/

2nd div trundler and a deminished Amir both bowled very well for the conditions and deserve their 4fors.

As I said before the match predictions on this forum England would rack up big runs were miles out, England have not played well for a good year to eighteen months.

We are average indeed. As a fan I can handle not playing well I've watched us for 30 odd years.

What we don't seem to have is a plan to get better, and that's a worry.

Agree with that, im only just getting back into cricket but it doesnt seem like there is much in the way of talent banging on the door to take places.
I dont like Root as captain either, too much to put on one persons shoulders they should have kept him as the best batsman/team joker IMO

That�s the coach and management not the players!

Split the coaching bayliss to stay in as whiteball coach new man (newell) take over test farbrace to be number 2 for both

Oh and sack off the consultants and have a full time bowling, batting and fielding coach

Interesting to hear Nasser suggest England suggest are carrying mental and emotional baggage from previous losses. I couldnt agree more. Their skills are fine but they are not, as Nasser would say, up for the fight.

And while old Thorpie talks about how counties can improve their approach to batting training, he never mentions the mental side of the game.

They need a scratchy Jonathon Trott/Chanderpaul type player in with the flair batsman for exactly this type of match
