Just now, Super said: In fairness Bairstow and Moeen are specialists in failure. But that's my point. Who else is there? The way the game is run in this country now means that those players aren't being produced anymore. And when they are they're criticised if they don't score quickly enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've not bowled well enough and our batting is turgid. No doubt rent a gobshite Vaughan will be back lambasting County Cricket scores today... For once I agree with him, because I think he was getting at the quality of the pitches rather than the batting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 From what ive seen of the dismissals, not many players are getting their bats on those Bumrah yorkers. Fantastic bowling. Ali's dismissal was pathetic tbf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 1 hour ago, TomF said: But since those first innings nearly all the scores 2nd time around were 200-300. I'm sure its part of his wider ploy to suggest we cut down to 8-10 county sides (conveniently the ones that host 100 games) so they can play more red ball cricket. Apart from Somerset .

bearded_red Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I can’t be too critical of these players or this team as they’ve competed much better than I thought they would and have been beaten by a vastly superior team. The elephant in the room, and the point that I’m confused some people seem to keep missing, is that this is a crap team. One test quality batsman, no frontline spinner, have only played in one test out of four with a pace bowler in the team, still utterly reliant on a (brilliant) 39 year old who is actually finally beginning to show his age in second innings of games. Without our talismanic superhero of an all rounder the cracks in this team cannot be papered over. This is the first year since 2001 that England will fail to win either home series in a summer. Now fair enough, they’ve played the best two teams in the world, but my issue is that I’d advise people to get used to it. The England test team is in terminal decline thanks to the utter charlatans running the game in this country. As for the Ashes, look at what’s happened in the second half of this game when the pitch has flattened out. We have absolutely no idea how to win on those pitches. If they win a game in Australia I’d be stunned. Developing test match players just isn’t something that concerns the ECB anymore I’m afraid. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 We’re just a shambles of a test side. Haven’t had the right balance for years in our batting line up, re-selecting poor players to make it work. Balance, Jennings, Sibley, Lyth, Carberry, Robson, Stoneman… to name a few. Something has to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder where Test match cricket will be in 10 years. There are significant shortcomings in the England team, but India were really good today. Bumrah is world class and you have to say Kohli captained and managed things well. As for the Ashes - absolutely battered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
