Finally, we have a proper batsman in.

Yep he is in the side for the wrong reason

Reminds me of neville.

Bit harsh?

Bit like Lawrence, can’t bat, but can’t turn the ball a bit.

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

but how will we ever know if somebody can do if we don't try ? just like the leggy parkinson get him in the team and lets see what he can do. root must have had the final say on parky not playing so why take him ?

You will have to ask him that.

There is no guarantee that any other captain would have played Parkinson though, however hard your clamour is.

However shit the bowlers are, they haven’t lost the series for us, so not playing Parkinson hasn’t affected the result.

is this the worst england setup ever ? from top to bottom from the ECB to the captain all shocking
leaving both broad and anderson at home and saying stokes will only bat on the west indies tour ?

the worst bit was watching root the (captain) in the dressing seating area playing sudoku or something from a book

is root untouchable and will it take him to step down before they sack him
they say the golden rule in a team sport like football and cricket is results ? if things are bad changes happen
17 test and 1 win ? that's bad even for the so called poor teams in cricket

Reminds me of neville.

Absolutely nothing like Neville. The cricket punditry it a light years ahead of football.

5-9 and 7-22 so far in the match is quite something from Mayers.

Roach, Holder and Mayers seem to not bowl rubbish and don't concede runs. Tremendous control.

He isn’t, but the management need to see a better option.
