Mahmood looks every bit a test bowler, that's encouraging at least. Overton works hard but I don't think he's got the accuracy and nibble that Robinson does.

Very promising, we do need new seamers. I do hope Broad and Anderson still play a part.

Overton seems a bit like Woakes but not as good with the bat, I know Woakes is not great overseas but at least contributes with the bat

Robinson was carrying a spare tyre last picture I saw, lots of ability but needs to shift some weight

Pitch seems to flatten out in session 3. West Indies has a 28 run lead with JdS still at the crease. Batting last on this pitch could be very difficult

Another poor umpiring decision, with more pain from Root throwing the reviews away

whether you guys like it or not..  White ball has infected players and this bunch (root apart) are quite simply not good enough. Not a single one of them. They get defended left right and centre but they really just aren't very good. When will people finally admit that England are both really poor (and a few runs on roads/pancakes only hides it from idiots) and have no chance of getting better whilst the system is fully geared up from the lowest level to the top for white ball

WI are shockingly bad so to lose the series against them is.. .well.... truly awful .. Strauss is a massive part of the decline and I notice Harrison and co are STILL IN A JOB and taking in their bonuses

Another soft one from Bairstow. Hook, line, sinker

Sorry but England aren’t good enough to play a specialist keeper whom is pretty mediocre with the bat. Foakes, for all the hype, didn’t keep like this legendary glove man he’s proclaimed as in this series.
His batting is no more than a number 8 at Test level.

Foakes is still an substantial upgrade on Buttler. Think he might have a decent home summer

As for the team though, an absolute sack of (No Swearing Please). Think that'll be it for Root as captain

Always dislike changing what works to solve another issue. Now you don't know if the other issue is solved or not but you could potentially spoil what works so ending up with two issues. This is what Root has done moving up to bat at no 3. Eng should focus on finding a proper no 3 and let Root do what he does best at no 4.
