English conditions have always been one of the most difficult places to bat for opposition but problem is now we aren't good enough to handle it either. 

 

I don't mind the verbal stuff really, even if it makes you dislike certain players. As long as they don't moan about it when it comes the other way, which Kohli has history of moaning about to umpires.

I really hope the Ashes gets called off cos of COVID. Can’t bear to see us get raped 5-0 over there.

Australia aren't that good either to be honest

Hopefully this won’t just be brushed off as one of those bad days even if we do manage to hold on.

 

Really do need to work on our batting  for starters .

He's horrible, mouthy, a hypocrite, arrogant!

[RonnieTodger]

It’s a shame that we’re so shit, but this is a good watch. 
 

Got to love the needle.

Horrible and mouthy yes! 

 

A hypocrite I'm not sure how. 

 

Arrogant probably but for good reason! Similarly how I find Ronaldo arrogant but his talent allows him to be so!

I know mate

 

 

 

I think England will see out the day. Our bowlers are tired. Buttler is doing well blocking.

Great captaincy from Kohli

[Osavo]

I absolutely love these scenarios in test matches. Proper cat and mouse and a real test of a batsman's concentration and skill. Give me this over the Hundred anyway.

 

Re the top order, agree that they don't look up to scratch but who is knocking down the door for selection? I'd have Malan at 3 certainly, but other than that I can't think of many in county cricket who look good enough. Libby? Slater? Abell? I just can't see them being up to it. And then you're looking at recalls for players like Lyth, Bracey and Ballance who have proven already that they're not quite there. The talent is lacking sadly.

Sun is out in London now.

 

India getting all the luck in this series so far. Got the bad weather in the first test and last night.

 

Hard to work out which side is more annoying out of India or Australia.

In fairness that was probably bad luck. Think they would have knocked off those runs pretty easily.

Did an Indian guy steal Teapot's missus or something?

It wasn't me!

Ugh.

[BlueSi13]

Heads need to roll at the ECB.  Enough is enough.

 

They were warned, all this farting around with the 100 and white ball cricket is all well and good until the Test site is losing (which it now does regularly).  International Test match Cricket, is and will always be the only game in town when in comes to genuine national interest.

 

Roll the tanks in for a full rebuild of the test side and **** everything else off.  It doesn't matter.

[RowlattsFox]

Hope the Western terrace is up for it next test, need to get into some of these Indian players  unless it ends up being full of Indian support.

 

India are superior in every way currently.

Stole all my chips too and left a chip on your shoulder about the 'English' too 🤣

[AjcW]

The covid situation against Pakistan lead to a load of very good one day players emerging…. Why not just do the same with the test side, make 7 or 8 changes for the next game and see who stakes a claim for the ashes! 

[Corky]

Barely anyone can bat. Our bowling attack is being decimated by the week (Wood the latest with his shoulder). 

 

We're only playing against the best team in the world who are fully prepared.

 

Cricket doesn't usually get me raging but this is unacceptable. 2021 in Test cricket has been disgusting from England.
