Great to see a big crowd in at Edgbaston but someone really needs to tell the England openers it's 2021 not 1951. Scoring less than 2 runs an over

Ah England gone backward regarding batting it’s about staying in no matter what which is great if like burns first test go on and get a 100. Thing is though unless the middle order puts spurt on you ain’t winning a lot of tests..

Both made it through to lunch, that hasn’t happened for a while and we should get 5 full days in so not that concerned about run rate yet.

I can cope with that in the first session or two of a test match if it preserves wickets and gives us a platform to ramp up the run rate later.

 

[Citizen Mike]

you aren't losing a lot either. It usually takes Sibley all day to get 31. I'm looking forward to the edgbaston crowd getting Pissed this afternoon.

yeah get that but the run rate need to increase because bat for two full days at this rate won’t be enough to get a team out twice..

Here we go again

Talk about giving your wicket away!

 

[waspish]

Crawley mentally he hasn’t got it plus his catching is one of the worse ive seen for an international player drop fcuking loads!

 

[meeesh]

Crawley is crap

 

[Daz_Blue]

Crawley has to go ...... so out of form .... I said to my mate at lunch we will go from 72-0 at lunch to 120-6 typical England

 

[Daz_Blue]

HAHA Root gone.....

It is swinging more now. Hard work to play against, especially when some fans want 10 an over scoring too.

Balls obviously swinging a bit after lunch but we should be better than this.

 

[waspish]

This test match England side is piss poor

 

[Southbanken]

It's pathetic by the way.

What the image that you posted. Yes, you're right, it is pathetic.

You can literally switch it around and criticise the "right" for the same thing in reverse.

that's directly off the back of his 267 isnt it?

drop him for India and who do you take?
use him for India and that form likely continues?
