If England were in the field against us we’d only be 80-1 and I’d fancy our chances.

Roots had a absolute stinker last two days! for me it started with his running down the wicket to Lyon getting stumped! Funny thing with cricket take the piss be overly confident/Arrogant it will come back and bite you on the arse! The reserved Root is what I want back!

Yeah, too many want to adopt the 'Aussie/Millwal Couln't Give A Fuck' approach and it's not solidly contained in their psyche - it doesn't work.

Just start smashing it, that’s the only thing we’re capable of doing.

This isn't the thread about the fella who's smitten with his neighbour, you know?

what about the baseball hook shot

All that is in my post as in taking the piss out of the game when Root should know better! The drop catches the knick getting out is what what happens when you think you can do anything and it will come off! Stokes has been the one who has played sensible and realise the situation! Maybe Root will learn for stokes..

Good of Root to last all of 5 minutes.

Agree with the Root observations, I think he has been poor and let us down at crucial moments. The dismissal getting stumped was really poor cricket and in the context of the game was reckless stupidity probably costing the test match. Back to basics Joe and cut out this blaise attitude it is affecting your overall game
