I know. He created overspin that made the ball dip and skid on, getting him loads of LBWs and bowled.

I see we still can't bat or bowl. I've currently no interest in watching England at cricket.

Kumble bowled mainly topspinners and put a lot of action on them. Warne and Murali could both turn the ball square, Swann got a lot of spin for an offy. Its definitely not a positive not getting much turn. Leach isn't exactly metronomically accurate either.
We are not looking good after the first day, same old crap by giving away our wickets and then crap bowling.
I was very much looking forward to this tour and the 5 test matches and I hoped the England camp had something to prove, But they didn't and many of us doubters weren't wrong. We just can not bat-facing spin bowling

England get a wicket but then the bowlers struggle to maintain pressure. Need to bowl tighter for the full over or the deficit could quickly lengthen.

West Indies won’t get a better chance of beating Australia, England need five quick wickets because a lead of 150/180 it’s all over.

I don't really understand how the bowling has been deployed.
Strike bowler in Wood very few overs (fine as he's made of chocolate) but been bowling a fair amount of short stuff when the ball is as soft as a squished peach.
Debutante spinner picking up the workload throwing up a fair amount of full tosses (unbelievable how he will be credited with the Rahul wicket, it should go down as an own goal). No blame at his door as he is new in.
No fault be put at Ahmed's door either.
Why would you select Leach if he is NOT going to be your workhorse spinner 'protecting' the other bowlers - he's not a strike bowler and very rarely turns the ball.
Hate to say it but Root again is underused as a spinner - he's a good player.
Really like Stokes overall approach, just don't understand the thinking.
It appeared that yesterday we were undercooked (as standard)...........

I'm still baffled by Duckett saying after the first day that England were in a strong position.
It doesn't sound as though there is much of a bowling plan.

Belief us mortals who can't play sport at a top level don't have! He believed they would have a good day today(they haven't) what's the point of playing a sport and don't believe you going to find a way to win!

I think believing they could have had a good day today is one thing, and absolutely fine - confidence isn't a bad thing.
Claiming they were in a strong position just sounded daft as no-one else thought they had.
