Harsh. Was utterly sold down the river by Fat Sam.

Didn't he cause a brain-dead run-out in the 2020 game as well?Learn to run ya tubby fecker.

Trott not blameless though. Cannot simply turn and hare up the pitch without noticing what your partner is doing first.
Running looks so so dodgy out there atm though

Thats why I like Shah and Bopara. Guaranteed entertainment when ever there's a quick single to be had!

Yeah, hit it sraight to mid off ran 4 steps, realised there was about half a run there and didn't get back.
Of course it might just be Sammy's a dodgy runner, but it's problems like this that will make his weight an issue. Fat bloke, unfit, poor runner.... It's too easy.

And there he goes. Can't blame him for not carrying the rest of them though. This is why some of the earlier forecasts were way over the top for this lineup. I'd love them to prove me wrong occasionally.
There's a case for playing KP at number 6 in these games imo.

Sloppy thinker too. Either way, I can't see Flower putting up with much of this sort of crap.

Definitely a case for trying Bell and KP the other way round if they are going to persist with both.

Agreed. Morgan is your best bet at #4 and given that KP never hangs around long enough to be a useful middle-order anchor anyway, #6 should work for him.
I guess that leaves Bell at #5 but I don't think he'll be much cop there either.

I know he was poor today, but KP's batted well at times in this series and at least has some sort of clue in these games. I don't think there's room for Bell as well as Cook and Trott.

Quite, but mostly because of 30 or so gift runs at the top.
No idea why Prasad isn't bowling.
E: That would have been a killer catch.
E2: England really throwing it away here. Could have buried SL, instead they've left them with a sniff.

He's not scored over 41. If top-order guys don't score big, your innings descend into this horrible mish-mash. Taylor, Hales, Hildreth, Davies, Bairstow or Buttler. Odd that 3 of those guys are WKs, but they seem the best in the form, ATM.
At least Swanneh should be coming in now, maybe some entertainment for 5 minutes.
