I get your point. Honestly, I do. But I'd rather win. Bazball has been a breath of fresh air in the England test scene. But there's a time and a place. And, given the position we were in just before lunch on the second day, it's crazy that we're in this position. As I said earlier, it's fairly irrelevant now. The chances of us winning from here (effectively 4 down with well over 200 needed) are remote.
Thanks for that, I am shit on the Internet searching, in most areas! So his average against Zimbabwe help! Against Australia and India, the 2 best sides, its mid 30’s, decent but not great.

I agree that Crawley and Pope are problems for England.
Isn’t it just. It used to be just cricket lovers but it’s been infested. They’ll go when the season starts ;)
Batters getting out to a poor shot has been the same since the dawn of the game! It’s what sticks in the mind too as it’s the last thing that happens.
Cheers. I still think with both Duckett and Crawley the ability to be careful and just stay there would make them both better, but it seems that’s not the England way. Maybe Trescothick isn’t the best coach for temperament improvements, not being rude btw. I also note that Duckett is number 10 in the world test rankings, which is very good. He generally gets a good start, he scores quickly, but he is too risky and if he could learn how to leave balls and stay focused he could be a great rather than a good. I think so anyway
They need to sort out the score graphic. That’s the most annoying thing for me about the 16.4
Happens how often?
It's just not cricket is it?
Pretty often, just like all batters. They all get out somehow.
Seems to be out playing similar shots in every innings?
And if you’re talking about me you are wrong. This cricket team is called India, so that is who I am referring to as India. Their behaviour has been appalling in this series and I think the Indian cricket team (just to be clear) are a set if cunts. I also think Virat Kohli is a ****. If you dig back through my post history you will also see my praise for the Pakistan cricket team, my second favourite cricket test team, they play hard but fair. The Indian cricket team, probably bouyed by the success of the IPL and the associated pandering to them by the cricket authorities have become a right bunch of arrogant entitled cunts. When I started watching cricket I remember the likes of Gavasker, Bedi etc, great respectful cricketers. However if you think the screaming at umpires, surrounding the umpire like rags, screaming in the face of Crawley, Duckett even Root, etc, throwing the ball at a batsman who was in his crease and all the rest of it is fine then that’s up to you, I think it’s fucking disgusting. To be clear I have no problem with Indians but I fucking hate the current Indian CRICKET TEAM. Pardon me for having an opinion.
