Here we go...

White ball biffers blah blah medium pace rubbish blah blah  England are crap blah blah bring back boycott blah blah not test cricket, too much white ball

We get it, good god post something else

So it’s ok for you to say how great all the hitting is time after time when it comes off but wo betide anyone actually challenge this modern style in tests..

Why is it so hard to actually allow others a POV ? Or is it because you fall for the hype about postiive cricket.. aggressive cricket.. brand of cricket ..

Either way, I’m not insulting you am I?? I’m stating an opinion. If that’s different from you (it is as you like your hitting)  then fine but there is no need to be rude. Or is this forum yet again about conforming or you get down shouted ?

No I actually think England have got it wrong this series and not bedded in enough... but I’m also aware enough to know when the stacking style is needed rather than just moaning how white ball cricket is ruining English cricket constantly

And at what point in the last two tests was this style needed ? Nothing wrong with attacking cricket as it’s needed in tests just as much as ‘boring’ cricket but you have to have a line up capable and willing to do both. England don’t

You got to credit the West Indies again, they are batting with application old Skool and holding their catches.

We have had a good 9 months and are coming unstuck here but you cannot fault the effort today.we could and should of had them all out but for some missed catches.

It's not all doom and gloom as long as we learn. Have to say the windies that have turned up this last test match and a half have surprised me how good they are.

Are they really eighth is the rankings..

Root’s been lucky winning a lot of tosses, this is the real test when they’re losing key tosses.

Thought broad was honest in his interview and admitted that England have had their fair share of luck in the last 9 months and now it’s going the other way.

England have not learnt from the first test about application and West Indies keep showing them the way to do it.

Decent start to day 3 with a couple of wickets. Really don’t want this lead being anymore than 150 to have any kind of chance

Anyone going to defend that from Burns ?? Bloody dire given batting time is needed.

Or is that too negative and should we be wacking like it’s a power play and he was just ‘unlucky’

Same with Bairstow I suppose ? Just unlucky ?

Or was it reckless, on the up and too aggressive ?!
