Can't keep Malan after this run of form and his piss poor catching in the slips which could possibly lose us the game in hindsight

Like they talked valut today on comms he's been out 11 out of last 12 times defending and every one is a mirror image of the last. Footwork is none existant,  I don't care if he plays for middlesex like Strauss and Smith, he's not good enough

Malan dropping kholi allowed kholi to score runs which could cost England not just this match And  even if England win today that drop could still lose them the series.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Malan get one more game.. is Lords the next test?

He was one of the better batsman in Australia, but having a wretched time now and the slip fielding shows he's head obviously not in the right place for test cricket at the moment.

Does feel like a bit of a scapegoat at the moment. The entire top 7 is misfiring. A new no.4 won't magically fix the team. The more established players need to be scoring more runs.

Clear daylight between the best and the very best as pointed out by a fellow forumite.

Kholi is playing this superb

Give him an automatic pardon just for removing Kohli

Get in!!


Just out of interest. As a forum do we still want to sack the coaches and replace half the line up??

[Biggie Smalls]

Great finish that !
All my indian mates reckon ishant edged the ball. I told them there was no bat involved. They said they thought i was biased (but  I'm a neutral aussie  ).
I told them they are blind.
Win win.

Who's our MOTM?

Gotta be Sam Curran hasn't it? Bizarrely I didn't really think he was test ready, but he has a lot of heart and a lot of energy.

Surely set to keep Woakes out of the team for the forseeable
