There is going to be havoc at ECB is Leach and Root are still allowed to be England's best spinners

I don’t think there’s a great difference in quality between Leach and Root.

Also that first innings bowling by Hartley proved he can do as good as leach as in keeping it tight! When we play at home Root should be our main spinner then Hartley our second choice because he can bat a bit too

Bowl them out for 150, then knock off the 300-ish needed in the fourth innings. Simple, innit?

Batting or bowling? ;-)

Haha clearly both from what we’ve so far on this tour. :P

 

[meeesh]

Normal service resumed, or to put it bluntly and factual, fucking rubbish

How we won first test is still baffling but that’s all we will get, a 4-1 pasting now

Oh and get that Bairstow fucked off asap

That was a harsh line that Root's now bowled more overs than he's scored runs in the series.

Meanwhile, Jaiswal has woken up.

Not sure there is an obvious 'safe' score that can't be chased on this pitch. Presumably England will think 350 is a reasonable chance.

This is done.

You mean get their last 8 wickets for 80 runs first?
