No apparently not.....England batsmen might actually want to try playing themselves in?

Well the worst dismissal of the lot was the Stokes one so hope he gets it more than most.I hope to god someone rips into these prima donnas in the dressing room. Respect the game or **** off back to county cricket.
that too against old ball not doing too much3 rank dismissals this morning. The 5 yesterday were at least decent balls on a difficult pitch. This is just garbage.
Think Rashid would perform better with the bat so if Ali struggles with the ball he'll be under huge pressure by the end of this series.3rd duck of the innings. Moeen now averaging 25 with the bat, and nearly 40 with the ball. His place could come under threat without a few performances soon. Will likely stay in the side because of how much flux there is with batting order.
Around 84mph.How quick is Chameera bowling ?
Broad was worse. Coming out like he's fighting for world heavyweight title and batting the same way. It's like he's suddenly rediscovered he can bat again after being useless for a good while after being hit on the head so he's suddenly god's gift to batting.Well the worst dismissal of the lot was the Stokes one so hope he gets it more than most.
Nah, Rashid is nowhere near good enough either. Ali is still our best option for spin, so he stays in the team. Anyway hopefully Finn+Anderson can stick around with Bairstow long enough to get close to around 300.Think Rashid would perform better with the bat so if Ali struggles with the ball he'll be under huge pressure by the end of this series.
Tbf Ali has been playing like what you'd expect from a number 8, his best contributions since he got thrown even further down the order have been those cameo little booster knocks like in the Ashes.Think Rashid would perform better with the bat so if Ali struggles with the ball he'll be under huge pressure by the end of this series.
Blue sky, but you know it IS Leeds.Anybody near Headingly? How does the weather look?
