Same old England to be fair.

Yesterday’s the commentators constantly said England bowled to short, and kept show stats to prove it.

After game Broad was interviewed and told they bowled to short, he retorted as always with “wasnt Doing as much, so we could put it up there, we bowled the right line, we know what’s e are doing blah blah blah”


India bowl fuller than England, take wickets, the ball moves, England in trouble.

It’s like de ja vu

Broad a waste of time with the bat as always.


Buttler needs to do what he’s paid for now. And tee off!

Lyth would be my first choice oprner tbh. Still got no idea why he was jettisoned so quickly. He's a classy player.

Probably his average of 12 in a full series vs Oz.

Extremely poor start with the ball. 50 up inside 9 overs - yet broad is still on

Broad is crap and has been for years. Still dining out on his 8 for 15 three years ago.

Still in general bowling to short.

So many boundary’s from the opening two off the back foot.
And when broad did pitch it up, Rahul dispatched it like he was served up a Buffett.


Stokes gets one near the batsman and it’s a wicket......

The bowling looks tired because the bowlers are tired,and the wicket has flattened out a bit

We bowl for a day, bat for half a day, then bowl for another day and plenty.

We seem incapable of batting test match time.

Also  shows what  a mistake to leave left arm Curran  out and Roots decision to bowl first in the conditions not just that   2-0 up in a 5 match series  you think about bowling then bat

It's hindsight I know and we are hear in our armchairs thinking we know better but it was very hard to leave Curran out. How he might do when I doesn't swing(as I mentioned myself) doesn't really count because he has swung it back in so far in the games..

I think it was a harsh call. Roots comment 'the time to leave him out is when he has played really well' or something like that....I found a very odd statement.

Lyth would be my first choice oprner tbh. Still got no idea why he was jettisoned so quickly. He's a classy player.

Its difficult this one - Lyth is undoubtedly a class apart from Robson, Stoneman etc, and there is a very good argument that he was not really given much help to make it at the top level.  On the other hand, he couldn't really complain at being dropped, and has never really beat the door down for a recall (unless you argue that he should be amongst the potential reserves for the much stronger one day side).

Looking at both arguments - the positives are clear - for three solid years he made runs for fun, and his Headingley ton against New Zealand was an innings that his Yorkshire teammates Root and Bairstow would struggle to match.  He wasn't helped by management giving Trott three tests as an opener in the Windies which should have been a low key introduction to test cricket for Peanut, and he could legitimately say that in the live part of that Ashes series, he was always dismissed by a good nut, or in the pursuit of quick runs.  You might even throw in the fact that he bowls functional offies, and is at worst third to Stokes and Rikki Clarke in terms of England qualified slippers.

The other side of the argument?  Well, yes, he got six good balls - but only one of them was genuinely unplayable.  The feeling existed then, as it does now, that he might unfortunately be a player who is good enough to nick good balls, but not genuinely great enough to get them to ground.  That, you might let him away with - and rumour was, he was going to be given the winter after the Ashes - but for the fact that he patently cracked in the dead rubber at the Oval.

He’s a professional cricketer who’s highly paid job is to score runs and field
Either he’s not up to the job, or he’s not trying?
