Green gone

Shock horror the short ball from wood got Green out!

I new a short ball would cause green discomfort from looking at him after an hour of me first time watching him!

WTF are the coaches doing or Or useless Captain.

Lights are on but the natural light wont finish until 9:30pm (10:30am your time) . No sign of rain at the moment.

10:07 - raining!

I’m inclined to agree, though I’m not sure where he could go to hone his skills. He needs time in the middle rather than with a coach in the nets.

Hameed has great potential but he needs to tell his dad to stop interfering - he spends hours on machines with his dad practicing his poor technique - any suggestions coaches make - his dad reverses it - Poor lad has massive respect for his dad so won't go against him and what he says.

His dad didn't trust any of the coaches at OT

His dad was probably right about the coaches at OT, to be fair.

don't know about that and their qualities - but also reversed what England coaches have said from what I've heard,

He was training in Ashton everyday with his dad at the cricket centre spending more time playing spin is what some of the people that are there daily said.

Needs to go back to basics with a top level coach and work his technique out - also have to recognise he's been tested by a bloody good seam attack and not many have succeeded this series

I don’t disagree.

i was merely intimating that most Lancs batters these days are shite and regressing.

All I'd say mate - is the standard of batting across the world isn't that good - watched India in this test series vs SAFA they didn't get to 300, England not great, Australians bar Smith and Labuschangne maybe Warner, Pakistan have a couple of decent batters.

Maybe the only country at the moment with a good batting line up is New Zealand -

I had an interesting conversation with an ex England player recently and he felt the standard of coaching and the coach education programme is not fit for purpose and the bucks starts at the ECB.

Something is wrong when you have a 45 year Darren Stevens bossing the county game

Perhaps we need Glen Chapple back bowling and not coaching…

It also comes to something when England employ Mark Ramprakash to be their batting coach. The former failed test batsman who notoriously couldn’t mentally handle test cricket.

Hopefully we can get them all out for less than 300.
What an earth has possesed Silverwood and Root to select Burns again?
