Other than Ricardo, Fatawu & James, the rest need to have a long look in the mirror, rather than gawping at their overpaid contracts & bloated bank accounts.

To visibly fade away so much after conceding is worrying.

Looking at the 20 named, we actually don't have a strong squad at all do we ?

They either train like prime PSG or they have something on the owner. I don't understand how so many manager's pick Soumare etc.

Soumare. What's the point ?

Maybe Leicester City aren't for you !

I'd surprised if they manage more 3 Tests each. I reckon Carse will have a good Series.

I agree, l don't think Cummins will be missed that much. Boland is an excellent stand in. Although, their attack are all mid 30s.......5 Tests in 7 weeks won't be easy

Have a great time. I’m doing Sri Lanka in the new year. How do you rate our Ashes chances ?

What time is this on in the UK ? I’m a closet Jays follower. Was in Toronto couple of years back & saw them play The Brewers. Hopefully you Jay’s fans can enjoy today (or maybe tomorrow) !

Pointless review. You know if you knick it.

Lots of pressure on Knight & Sciver-Brunt. They’ll probably need to score the bulk of the runs in the chase. Not many other batter’s have stood up so far.

Wolvaardt has been brilliant, but England don’t seem to have a plan, very poor.

2 quick wickets has helped England

.....which has filtered down to the player's on the pitch. Been like it for far too long now. This then leads to the disconnect between fans & the team, which we most definitely have.

I detect sarcasm. Hopefully he’s not involved.

'Suck It Up', is a hard take, especially when we have some player’s clearly not motivated, not putting in the hard yards & seemingly unfit. Obviously, we all have different opinions, but it seems we’ve been in this rut for far too long now. Also, the disconnect between the fans, club & team has never been so stark, which is probably a by-product of the above.

As previously mentioned, ‘l Swear’, is excellent. Definitely a must see.

We've been sleepwalking into trouble for a while now, but do you seriously see it getting as bad as Wednesday ?

…….hopefully we’re not saying the same after The Ashes !

Fair point. Maybe the average fan sees the likes of Brooke, Stokes & Salt smashing it everywhere & Archer & Wood bowling at 90mph more of a wow factor. Interesting.

I don't think he's underrated. Comms are always talking him up, he's a regular in the England set up & has won World Cups. He will be regarded as a white ball star player when he retires

Hate is a horrible word. Maybe blame the the Manager that picks him, the hierarchy that gives him a new lengthy contract & the Club that is rudderless.

I’ve never felt so detached, or lacked so much emotion whether we win, lose, or draw. A very sad time.
