Pope overrated as fudge. Flat track bully. Nothing more.

Bairstow has been bowled or LBW 59 times in Test cricket. Man in an embarrassment

the lack of proactive batting this morning, and average captaincy yesterday, has just bitten us

Alternative view.

We picked the wrong bowling attack. Got lucky in the first innings. Then when we batted we left 200 runs unscored. Pope, Bairstow and Mo culpable.
Our knackered bowlers (from previous back to back tests) slogged through 150 overs in the field and the team is now broken.

That is pure test match cricket. The Indians are a better team than us.

To be fair that was a Jaffa first up and would have cleaned many up but you have a point.  Also no idea really why we pick Ali, has been poor in test cricket for a while now with both bat and ball.

Root still there and Woakes is a decent bat so fingers crossed for small miracles

Because you can't balance the team with Leach in it. The tail becomes too long. This is the problem with not having Stokes. Although Woakes is a true all rounder in my view, especially in England.

I'm not sure this holds true with Woakes, Overton and Robinson, or even with Wood playing. Could see the rationale before they brought back Woakes but Moeen hasn't bowled very well and Leach did nothing wrong before being unceremoniously binned.

India literally play with 3 11s and it’s not done them any harm has it?
Moeen’s test career should be over after this match.

Not a bad nut tho, so can't really be blamed for that. Good balls can get anyone out.

Why not the classical four man attack? Leach would fit nicely then.

Good balls is all very well but Pope and Bairstow both prodded across straight balls :(
