Papal fallibility.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Worried someone is going to sky one in a minute.

And there you have it

 

[Summerbuzz]

Seriously

Pope thrown his wicket away, crazy batting like that

 

[BringBackSwales]

Phew!!!!

 

[jimharri]

Why did he do that? It's not white ball stuff we're playing here; spend time at the crease. Do that and the runs will accumulate anyway. Okay, maybe not at 5 an over. But we don't need 5 an over.

They're just going to keep bowling short and Root will get out in the next 10 mins anyway.

 

[dadnlad]

stupid cricket

no ball his 5th amature

 

[Iamthemusicman]

How the fuck is that not a wide?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Can we please, for the love of God, stopping playing the hook shot!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Players need to park their egos here.

 

[Summerbuzz]

Any chance you could stop using the bat to swat the flies away?

 

[Gabriel]

England really need to show some discipline and concentration for the rest of this session. They can't win it in this session but they certainly can lose it.

I don't think it's the players' egos.

It's almost as if the whole "be free, play how you want and we'll accept you" message coming out of the dressing room is being interpreted as "I have to play stupidly to fit in".

They can lose the series in this session.

If they lose a few wickets here, the match is over and it's 2-0. They won't come back from that.

Certainly evident in the first test.
