Come on England. Set them a target that would take more than 2 shots to reach. You know you can do it.

Majority of the England players gone out there to play shots and thinking if it’s my day I won’t get out! Lazy thinking Da Silva showed you all how to bat if you dont want to get out!

this is spot on

everybody (pundits) saying just sit in and there is no rush you know after 40 overs it gets easy and you can bat and score

Reminds me of neville.

Athers is no Rat boy, good all round writer on all sports and would be a great head of the ECB

Yep play French cricket for 40 overs don’t play an attacking shot sit in tire out the West Indian bowlers!

All comes from Root the worst England Captain ever.

Agree, he's far more thoughtful and much less of a shameless self-publicist than Neville. Great pundit and writer.

If I were him though, I wouldn't go near the job with a barge pole.

Almost definitely be over by lunch, one way or another (ha!).

Media talking about Key to be the next England manager that be a wise choice

drink does funny things to people

even you can not defend root this time 17 test 1 win another losing series.
something other than progress and forward with joe root as captain

However bad I think Root is as a captain, there isn’t anyone to take over. That has always been my point.

Finally, we have a proper batsman in.
