so... who here would 'have a go' and chase?? 

Would you throw in bairstow with burns to open, buttler 3, root 4, mo 5, curran 6 and then if that fails.. shut up show with hameed/sibley ?   I just don't fancy bairstow/buttler/mo/curran to save a game


Personally.. I'd just bat it out. Can't win without someone magical so I'd take the points and wait for the next game.. Deny India the win

Braindead cricket from England.

Looking forward to watching Sibley smash 100 off 47 balls.

no fight.

Sorry state

And people were getting all OTT about this side again just yesterday.


All on Root and Hameed now... Don't back the rest to do anything useful

If Sibley plays in the 3rd test I will be very grumpy.

I'm of a similar mind but who comes in?

At least Hameed didn't get a king pair.

Ollie Pope the only cab left on the rank but he’s barely good enough at 5/6, will he be shoehorned at 3?

Hameed to open and Crawley to bat 3. Not ideal I know, but at the moment there’s no alternative. Beggars believe that Malan can’t get in this side.

soft hands means they are very close.

Hameed can really re-establish himself with a rear guard action today.. or utterly fail....

Sibley is no worse than Burns lets be honest. Both are dire. Crawley is no better and anyone wanting to push Root, pope, stokes, buttler, bairstow or alike up the order are clowns.

Malan probably the ONLY viable option but then he's not a long term prospect.. They've missed another chance for Malan by recalling Bairstow again.

Despite Malan's lack of red ball cricket, I would sooner see him at 3 than Crawley, Bairstow or Pope. I'm not sure Malan would do better at 5 than YJB, but almost certain he is a better prospect at 3.
