Hasn't looked comfortable since he came in. Doesn't seem to handle pressure well.

Another who seems to have lapses of concentration too, just gets too excited at times

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Smith absolutely brainless

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Embarrassing, no need to fuck around with Labuschagne pies

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I’ve stayed up till 1:30 to watch Head and Labuschagne bowling filth and still manage to get someone out. Furious.

I’m at the Test. Saw about five people in Cov shirts yesterday and another handful today. Was also here in 99 and 07. Ground looks great to be fair.

How much was Labuschagne charging for a pie?

Whatever the price, Smith bought one! Brainless.

Bowlers just aren't good enough. Beginning to think when they do hit a "hot" patch it's more luck than judgement.
Absolutely no point bowling fast if you don't have any semblance of control.
If they had the ability then they'd be able to adjust line/length during an innings. These don't.
One of the imbalances of (or may be reasons for) Bazball is the need for batsmen consistently to bail out poor bowling performances.

Part of the problem is the batsman don’t bat long enough to let the bowlers rest between innings this doesn’t apply today

How is Neser still there ?
Tounge and Stokes could have had him a few times.

 

[DT-R]

Bowling has looked semi OK without being great until Potts stepped up

For the love of Christ, how has he dropped that?!

 

[tisza]

Pathetic.
Dropped catches a recurring theme going back through the summer. Surely one of the easier things to rectify.
Potts looks like a bowler short on cricket. But surely they should have had him in the nets early working on his line.

Mostly, because we cant bowl, and we can't catch.

That dropped catch totally took the wind out of the English crowd. Really is so so bad. Smith is 12 from 12 in this series and we’ve dropped two dollies in this innings already.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Dropped catch after dropped catch whole series, just shows they aren't mentally switched on for the whole series

 

[ovduk78]

I'm sure Potts is a decent guy but there is no way he should be anywhere near the England team, there has to better than him surely? I know Robinson has had his issues as well as a fall out with Stokes/McCullum but he had to be a better option than Potts.

Congratulations to Root anyway, we’ll miss him when he’s gone.

Still only 35 so hopefully a few years left. Seems to have been around forever.

Stokes is 34 so they might both retire around the same time, can't help thinking we've got big problems then.

Alastair Cook retired around the same age didn’t he? Either way I’m not convinced Root will hang around too much longer.

What, in the nets - when there's golf to be played and beer to be drunk? Steady now.

Don't think he's the type of character to walk away from a sinking ship. Plus next year's overseas tour is South Africa which isn't an arduous one. If he gets runs in the summer he'll still have an eye on Tendulkar's record.

 

[Liquid Gold]

How do you get to this level of cricket without the ability to catch a simple ball?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Inexcusable

 

[tisza]

Inexcusable

Absolute joke. Cost them the last Test (and so the series) against India. Cost them the Adelaide Test - should have been 2-2 coming into this game.
Got to have the foundations/basics right before embarking on the Bazball philosophy.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I got vengeance from the comfort of my living room. Fair to say Cook doesn't fit into my Bazball 2.0 style, and Root needs to pick up from his plodding run-a-ball nonsense or he's out.

But we didn't need to spend that time in the nets practicing remember? They needed to get away from the cricket and spend it playing golf instead.

If they spent more time worrying about playing for the Urn rather than thinking they're playing for the Ryder Cup maybe they wouldn't be such a poor, poor cricket team.

Such a very, very dislikeable set-up.

Wasn’t planning on watching much anyway but my stream is the Australian commentary…

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

And now Stokes has had to go off injured

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Right so 183 to pull level. Can’t see us being less than 5 down by the time we get there
