Haha that was great.

Don't know how on earth my post insults aids victims though. Absurd.

What joke?

There's been some filthy dismissals for England this year but Root and Ali's today could well make the top 10.

Mo might be a good option for the top 5 in Asia but next winter in Australia he has to be back down at 7 or 8 as he will be a walking wicket the way he plays the short ball.

Buttler hit five fifties in his first 8 tests and averaged 50. He hit 0 fifties in his next 8, averaging 16. It's tempting to think of Buttler as unsuited to Tests but you can just as easily put his bad run down to form at the time. And it was a year ago, so

I just don't see how England can justify keeping Mo in the side to be honest, he's so bits and pieces and when you've got another (admittedly performing massively well at the moment) bits and pieces cricketer in Stokes, it weakens both the bowling and the batting at the same time.

I know his career is over, but I refuse to believe that Ian Bell isn't in the Top 6 batsmen in England at the moment.

Well bits and pieces Mo averages more than Bell did in Bell's last 25 tests so that means you are wrong again.

 

[GIMH]

Stokes is not a bits and pieces cricketer

Maybe if Bell had a chance to bat 8, he'd have a better average too.

 

[Blocky]

Stokes is not a bits and pieces cricketer

Not the way he's currently playing, I agree - he's a genuine all rounder and has shown signs that he could be world class.

Yessssssssssssss

 

[Pothas]

Today is so annoying.

 

[Howe_zat]

Today is so annoying.

isn't it.

probably be bowled out before stumps and then we are stuffed.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Another gift.

THis is the biggest surrender since the fall of Singapore to the Japanese.

 

[Blocky]

England are screwed.. this is a 450 pitch.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

I think this series will be 4-0. We don't look mentally prepared to play Test cricket away from home.
