Denly could easily have bagged a duck. He's a very limited player. He's trying his best but he's not someone that will ever pull up any trees

I genuinely do think anyone would struggle to find a single England player you do rate.

Must be lonely looking down from the ivory tower all the time...

To qualify, our players seem to fall into three categories at the moment -

Green:
Burns, Sibley, Denly, Pope, Curran, Archer

Off the boil champions:
Root, Broad, Anderson, Woakes

A bit poo, really:
Bairstow, Moeen

I excuse Stokes, who is touched with a bit of genius and Butler whom I think should only be in the ODI team, allowing Foakes to play.

when you you look at that, it doesn't really add up to a competitive team

There goes Curran - no rescue act. That�s some catch

All Buttler can do now is go for a tap. We had them at 100 odd for 5 and were 130 odd for three with the bat; our ability to just throw away good starts is beyond frustrating

Realism = me
Delusional = you

If Denly was this world beater you seem to think he is why did he get a Test cap aged 33? Basically top order batsmen are a lucky dip at present.

Yeah with no Leach the tail is long. Jos has got to go one day now and hope we can get within 50 of them...even then we are right in the brown stuff.

Trott said on day 1 you don�t want to bat last on this track

rickjames · « **Reply #171 on:** December 27, 2019, 01:30:13 PM »

And Jos goes

Nothing changes, absolutely pathetic

Jos gone

@Mister Le Chiffre mate! No one in here has said Denly is a world beater, I'd say we're all being realistic and saying he's the most capable at 3 and our best option at the moment! If you take a minute to get your head out your ass and actually read what people are saying I'm pretty sure you'd be able to contribute without acting all almighty!

All out 100 runs behind on a deteriorating pitch.

We don't give ourselves much of a chance do we?

csnew · « **Reply #174 on:** December 27, 2019, 01:32:01 PM »

Root definitely got the toss wrong, ball�s already staying low

DeKock�s 95 looking massive now

ppccopener · « **Reply #175 on:** December 27, 2019, 01:35:48 PM »

They got a few more than they should of and that normally hurts the side batting next.
I can�t see any coverage I�m tracking it from holiday but Butler got an unplayable one by the sounds of it
Well done Denly but lots of us could see this coming. I didn�t think we could match their score myself

Who would be an England fast bowler? Charge in all day in 35 degree heat with no spin bowler to hold up an end, and then your batsmen can't bat 3 sessions before you're out there again!

Some credit has to go to the SA bowling which has been on point.

rickjames · « **Reply #177 on:** December 27, 2019, 01:41:14 PM »

143-3 to 181-9

Please mods, take off the swearing filter

Nasser finally calling England out on what we've all said for a year

103 behind bowling on day 2

Set batsmen need to look at themselves!! Poor again!

Now to bowl well and try and get back into this game!
