There's just no point saying 'everyone's crap and we should drop them all'. Most of these players are really good batsmen, it's over-reacting to slam them after quite a small number of matches. I mean really, are we seriously suggesting dropping KP for Bopara and Bell for James Taylor?

I'm just filling in Bopara... anyone really.
I'm not really a KP fan at all, but I don't think there's anyone better.
Anyhow... it's Strauss under the most pressure now. That's our really big problem, and I have nfi what we're going to do about it.

The great thing about Test Cricket is that each team gets 2 chances; lets see England perform in the second dig before calling out for mass changes.
I seem to remember Australia vs Sri Lanka (not this last tour, the one before) where Oz were behind SL after the first innings was completed in all 3 matches, yet we won the series 3 - 0.

I have named them - and for my trouble was accused by one of your fellow pollyannaists of cribbing names of county batsmen I knew nothing about from the brilliant minds who post here!
Who's that?
Me too. Pollyannaists really clutching at straws now, methinks!

Judging by everything we've seen since the turn of the year, you're safe enough - might as well declare now. This lot haven't shown the slightest inclination in their last 3 and a half tests to make a decent stab of the 4th innings here. Mentally shot & technically ****e really isn't the most helpful of combinations.

You're being called a children's book character basically.

I know it's a cliche, but that was an ATG team at arguably its peak.

You can stop being condescending towards people who disagree with you thanks. It's poor form.

Yeah we were a bit awesome weren't we.
Still, England are the number one ranked team in the world, so if they bowl SL out for say 150, England would surely fancy their chances of making 275 to win the match.

Yeah - I knew it was a kids' book. I just wondered exactly what the point was he was trying to make. Judging by his tendency to use in every other post recently, I'm guessing that he's only just read the thing.
