Feel sorry for Hameed

Gut told me that he was a long way from being ready to return

Selection policy of “everyone else is **** so we will give this guy a go” rarely works

I dont know why kholi getting a lot of flak in this thread, he is a guy that is proud to play for his country india and he nothing should stop that.

rahul dravid was also proud to play for his country.

I actually don’t have a problem with kohli, it’s more funny to me than anything else. But I think there’s many ways to show pride, and acting like an idiot and being proud and tough are separate things. You can be one or both.

I'm surprised Kohli hasn't aggressively cupped his crotch Scarface-style yet.

Nice try, but captains are appointed to captain people. If Anderson's approach was at fault, the captain's there to sort him out, and certainly not leave the rest of the attack in any doubt what was required. Can you imagine your man Border tolerating that approach?
yeah but it seems like there are two captains for england tho

all the bowlers seem to take orders from anderson and did what he told them to from mid off is what it seemed like

root put anderson in deep fine leg at one point and it looked to me like he was fighting for control over his own bowlers with anderson

poor root

it is one thing to fight against the opposition but he also has to fight his own team members to win games

Root was the captain.

Root took responsibility.

Everything else is just pointing the finger.

I don't realy give a **** about all this hullabaloo......this is test cricket, it's supposed to be tough and when tempers flair it's all a part of the contest imo. Kohl has never bothered me with his antics, apparently a lot of people think Jimmy Anderson is a prize knob......big woop afaic.

What I do care about is how it affected England's performance. That was possibly the worst spell of play I've seen when Bumrah was at the crease. England were bossing the game having got Pant early and then literally lost the ****ing plot.

Don't get into the biffo it doesn't lift you and inspire you to be at your very best. Just STFU up if what we saw yesterday is going to be the result.

Congrats to India and im glad they won cos I can't recall being as disappointed in an England side as I was watching that piss poor performance last night.
