Next weekend in the Windies I think. Surprisingly none being played in Aus for once.

:)


Can’t wait for this farce to finish to be honest I think a major cull from back room staff to players is in order

Sums it all up.

Words cannot describe how lame that shot was from Billings

I do like a Windies tour. Beautiful location, fun cricket, and the ideal UK tv schedule.

68-0 to this :D

All over today then. Is there an extra half hour to be had if needed?

Ollie bowled behind his legs, they're into the tail

Car crash

...

Pathetic

Oh for Botham right now

Doubt it will be needed!

:D At that wicket

Sums up how abject we have been

So after this shambolic tour, who do England persevere with in Test cricket ? Bowlers have done well, stay of execution for them, although we need a new spinner (Matt Parkinson for me). As for the rest, looking at the top 6 and keeper, i'd keep :

Crawley, Root, Bairstow, Stokes. Need a new opener with a technique, and a #3. Keeper should be Foakes, but possibly Bairstow or Billings. If its Bairstow, another #6, possibly Pope.

Root aside, the batting is atrocious. This series has been lost by an inability to make any half decent first innings totals. Mind set is dire, too much white ball rubbish.

Exactly this. To imply that 271 was a ‘pretty standard’ 4th innings target…

i) in a D/N Test
ii) in Australia
iii) when Australia have just been bowled out for 155
iv) & it’s still only Day 3

….is absolute nonsense.

This Daniel Norcross twat is unbearable.

Thank god it’s over

That is ******* embarrassing and I’m Australian

Yeah, he really is. He’s like the love child of Blowers & Jeremy Clarkson. Last year he was proudly telling anyone who would listen about how his wife had picked his clothes & given him a list of which shirt, trouser & sock combo to wear each day.
