Its why England were right to go hard earlier though India out for 224 with Overton, Tongue and Bethell in our bowling attack and Woakes only able to bowl 14 overs, said it all. The way it’s looking a balls gonna have your name on it sooner or later Edit - I appreciate that if it starts...

The timing of it was frustrating

If it was a flat pitch and no movement I’d maybe agree but you allow bowlers to bowl line and length on that pitch, in those conditions and you’re likely to get out sooner rather than later anyway. By doing scoops etc it makes it a lot harder to bowl consistently and set a field It wasn’t...

People still don’t quite get it. You don’t get to the score we’ve got to playing in a conventional way in conditions like this. You can’t have the good of overly aggressive (‘bazball’) cricket without accepting some of the bad. Of course on its own that shot looks absolutely horrible but to get...

I think both seemed to hit lowest levels in 2014/15….just waiting to Tony to join convo and blame Brexit (sorry Tony, could resist)

Comedy from Tongue, absolute dross and then a beauty…twice 😂

People can argue about crime figures as much as they want but from what I’ve seen recorded stabbings have pretty much doubled in 10 years. Recorded violent crimes more than doubled in ten years (from 800k to around 2m). Throw in all of the unreported stuff as well and I’d imagine those figures...

Even now he’d walk into this team, as would broady even after two years out. To be fair though we’ve been unlucky with injuries. Archer, wood, stokes, Atkinson just come back, stone, bashir probably others that I’ve forgotten, has meant it’s been a patchwork attack all summer. Just hoping...

Some decent balls and some absolutely rancid stuff. Let’s be honest though, I’m not sure some of these are even our second choice attack Hope we can make the enough of the decent bowling conditions before they improve

Soot on. I’ve reserve judgements on the team, transfer window and individual players until the seasons underway and window closes. I hoped fans would give current players at least the pre season under new coaching/management but maybe not Lampard will knows what we need, kings spent some cash...

Yeah, not ideal. Expected archer to be rested, test’s too close together but was hoping wood would’ve been able to get back for this. Interested to see Bethell though Bumrah out for them which is a bonus

Yeah, very strange. BTA is the weirder one for me as he’s hitting his peak years and yet I just couldn’t/can’t see him being a regular starter here. Did he really see that for himself ? Wonder what Robins told him ? Bassette is still young, he should've just got his head down, worked hard on...

Worse than that, you’ve got sports channel doing shit like this It’s weird, just celebrate a great, ballsy pen and win. Why produce stuff like this which is obviously bollocks

I couldn’t see it myself but young lad, still developing, maybe they expected him to kick on a lot more over the past 12 months. Also, he might fit a five at the back but not in a four for me

Yeah, hard to see a prem fit for him. Shame as his talent deserves to be at that level and under the right manager I think he could thrive. Maybe more likely that a foreign club comes in for him now though, unless injuries/late move leaves a last minute spot free somewhere

Think it was one where Mason Clark was struggling and ended up not starting. Meant a team rejig. Possibly Derby away but don’t quote me on that

Yeah, I reckon the final straw was when the there was a team sheet leak and Lampard was visibly fuming after the game. Might be a bit frustrating not having an early heads up on transfers or team sheets but ultimately they hurt the team/club so it’s good it’s stopped

Yeah, I’m all for loans if players aren’t in the mix at all but if he’s getting even a few mins here and there and training under one of the best midfielders of his generation, I’d be tempted to keep him around

Fair play to Hampton.

Ref bought that. Nothing wrong with tackle
