I sometimes wonder if these overpaid cunts like Pope actually think they just need to turn up and play the matches and play golf in between rather than hard practice like they should be doing, INCLUDING FIELDING

They still make them by hand as far as I know! Probably that blokes hungover grandson fucking them up!

has a long standing injury issue with his right shoulder - should've have both those run outs tho'.

If he isn’t fit enough to facilitate an easy run out then don’t play him

Can we get them out for a lead of 50 or 60 runs? Probably not!

The fielding been pretty poor last 2 years been very sloppy

Agreed, although I've been pretty impressed with our fielding this series, it's been far superior to India's. Pope should've done better there though

Fuck me India having a time out every 3rd over!

England have NO discipline consistency! India will win this series if we don’t improve!

 

[BringBackSwales]

What score was it when Pope panicked and fluffed that easy run out chance? Talk about a game changing moment

 

[waspish]

This is shite am sick of players wanting a rest a drink if they want a rest retire injured

Earlier on when Woakes was bowling it was Pants v Pant

 

[waspish]

We going to be 100 behind and then India will bowl with discipline consistency and we will be 3/4 down! Who thought this bowling line up was good enough after the last 2 tests

 

[waspish]

Nice one stokes pity Carse and woakes been shite oh don’t bowl a good length on there England, short of a length with aggression at the batter! Sort of a length is what I was telling them to bowl yesterday

 

[Gray]

Swap one of our shite bowlers for Bumrah and we would be in with a chance.

Roots bowling has been far tidier than Bashir's

 

[waspish]

India not been getting 1 wicket loss then another quick 1 or 2 they’ve stuck around frustrating us all! Stokes bowling because woakes Carse and Archer can not ball consistently in the right area woakes and Carse for me are first change bowlers! Let’s hope we have a fit better bowlers for Australia or it be a 5 nil

 

[waspish]

Great spell by stokes now we have Carse who bowls a different ball every ball absolutely amateur bowling! Stokes root keep it tight and Carse bowls up this shite! Maybe they’ll sack the useless sack of shit off

Went to Northants yesterday evening. Lots of big hitting and beer.

Yeh it was a brilliant night (apart from the cricket as a Lancastrian). Such a shame that the T20 game seems to be being marginalised for that Hundred abomination.
