fucking Root

On a positive, that’s what you get when you don’t produce dead wickets hoping to get to Headingley 1-1 (that’s on the ECB) and give your attacking captain some variety in the attack, especially pace, as ever we can judge better when both teams have had a bat on it but if we can reduce them to under 250, we can literally go on the attack even if the pitch is bowler friendly

The issue has been our poor discipline. Dropped catches. Too many extras. We're averaging more off the bat than the Aussies as a team yet are 2-0 down! I think it's 60 more extras than Australia which is madness.

And as I type this another one goes down. So far we've managed to go on and take the wickets without those drops being costly, but it's simply not good enough. That was filth by Root there.

If we lose this after these spilled catches I may be quite upset

 

[BringBackSwales]

Dropping smith head and marsh in a session and a bit is incredibly sloppy. The bowlers deserve better

 

[chris63]

That's going to cost us that dropped catch

 

[wattle]

13 drops and a missed stumping?!!? No wonder we’re losing. We’re making it far far fucking harder than we need.

That’s where the ashes have gone. Totally unacceptable. We’d be on our way to being 3-0 up now if we’d have held of those

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Fuck me Rooty, I’ve got one working leg and even I’d have caught that.

 

[waspish]

We been appalling on catching the ball and Root Bairstow been to two who have dropped a few

 

[Gabriel]

I know the score looks positive, but yet again there are just far too many dropped catches. 100-7 would probably be the Test.

Our fielding is as poor as ever, it should actually be a source of embarrassment for all involved, but nothing seems to improve.
