true, if Root wins it from here (i think they will with plenty to spare) then it's hard to criticise his tactics i guess. But yes i can see your point.
the carrot matey
give them hope they could win and if they get them well played to them, but like we have said this wicket is dead and if you go looking for runs you will get out, so 375 would have been enough and even if they got within 100 runs at the end it kills the bowling team knowing 50 runs to much was lost in batting
Patience, my friend, patience. The spinners are doing a decent job here, getting some half chances and keeping the seamers fresh for the last session where the wickets tend to fall.Need a wicket or two here quick,or it'll end up a draw this,but I can't help thinking if this was Aussies or India,they'd be all over these batsmen,but no not us.
another left handed finger spinner - who's that then?We’ve unearthed another Ashley Giles....

Denly's been excellent for a part timer.I was referring to Bess. And yes, I know he’s an off-spinner but the glasses and mediocre bowling are reminiscent of Giles.
I feel sorry for Parkinson. Bess was a defensive selection.

Harsh on both - Giles got 100 test wickets and it's only Bess' third game at this level.I was referring to Bess. And yes, I know he’s an off-spinner but the glasses and mediocre bowling are reminiscent of Giles.
