This is more like the sort of thing we're used to seeing from The Turd. Just a shame I can't watch the carnage as Sky Player has self destructed.

You can really tell the character of a man by how he responds to bad luck and adversity...

Is there some sort of battle of wills going on between England captains and the selectors over Dernbach? The more the selectors refuse to admit their long term error, the more captains try to make sure he bowls his full spell of overs at the most expensive time?

Is Nick Knight on some sort of commentary loop?

"In the past Dernbach's been accused of bowling too many variations..."

They've got too many, watch us get tied down by the spinners and it turning square. Looking forward to Wright getting 3 off 8 though.

Who keeps picking Luke Wright? We've got Moeen Ali in this squad. A better batsman who's actually good enough to bowl. Luke Wright should stick to playing Mickey Mouse domestic T20 competitions. He's not an international cricketer.

Luke Wright is an exceptional cricketer and just needs a bit of backing, even if he doesn't fire at the top order, he can be used somewhere else. His bowling is much better than it was before, fielding is pretty decent and he can win games with the bat. Don't write him off so early, might take a bit of time to adjust to turning wickets or quality spinners, but he is a really useful cricketer.

I don't understand why Stokes and Bresnan find a place in the LO squad. I mean Bopara has been bowling pretty well recently, he can easily fit in as the fifth bowler. You can pick a specialist batsmen and a bowler in place of Stokes and Bresnan. They don't add to much value to the side.

Ok, This is painful, hate it when Jos plays silly buggers first up, should always start his innings by trying to hit straight, then play the revers nonsense when he gets in.

Ravi gorgeously finding the gap between slip and 'keeper, such precision.

Bowling? He doesn't bowl for England any more, has bowled 1 game in his last 4, and won't be of any use in Bangladesh. Early? He's 29. 44 T20i innings, average of 18. Against proper teams he's played 40 innings, and averages 15. Has 17 innings at #3 and averages 17. Also, he doesn't seem to have improved at all as a batsman. Looks exactly the same cricketer that debuted in 2007 except now he doesn't bowl. He's not good enough, and it's time we move him aside and pick someone younger, and likely, better.
