    And now Brook is absolutely ******* brain dead.

    Brook playing one shot too many again.

    There is a danger we might lose today.

    India are making the ball do things we couldn't.

    Cause our bowling is awful. Apart from archers pace our bowling is 2nd rate. We have 3 batters in top10 in world but 0 bowlers

    Hope McCullum and Stokes don't become over stubborn.

    Crawley is a walking wicket. Pope is feast or famine.

    and our bowling attack. Woakes is past it Carse isn't the answer Bashir is a failed experiment and we have to rely on a skipper with injury issues and wrap Archer up in cotton wool.

    Oh for an Anderson and Broad attack.

    Stokes can't drop himself. Poor shot there playing across the line.

    He got 33 batting at number 3 in the Surrey league, but zero wickets from his 8 overs.

    Absolutely not. But the leadership team need to sit down after the conclusion of this test and have serious selection discussions.

    Only certainties for fourth test in my opinion are-

    Duckett
    Root
    Brook
    Smith
    Stokes
    Archer


    5 or 6 to consider for a call up

    Sibley
    Bethell
    Atkinson
    Leach
    Overton/Curran

    **** me sideways

    Root and smith out missing dead straight balls from a part time at best spinner who was picked to strengthen the batting.

    Oh well. Another defeat looms; we won’t bowl them out for whatever we set with the bowling ‘attack’ we have

    It isn't skill it's mentality. Said it for years. Bazball was about a gee up. Try and get us on the front foot. Nowt more than a pep talk or fist pump. I think it was @DannyWilsonLovechild who eluded to it many moons ago. For all the bluster you still have to play proper cricket.

    The forty minute period after lunch: Stokes and Root turning down runs only for Root to get out way he did. Maybe it's because I'm a Yorkie. Just wound me up.

    And Stokes. Three of them out bowled to Sundar. Not one bit of movement on the ball. Just missed straight balls.

    Absolutely ******* dire
