Bumble reads NSC as he agrees with me.

This bowling is pointless

Chris Silverwood worst coach for a long time.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

WTF was that Robinson. They get paid for this crap

He is missing out on the cash of the hundred

time to disband test cricket, its all about hundred and t20

I'll plough up all the cricket grounds

India 21-0

Ho hum.

 

[The Wizard]

Much as Silverwood is a donkey and the ECB clearly don’t care about test cricket, the batsman are still out there and are good enough to score more than an average of 170, at this point we might as well just send our 50 over side out they’ll probably get more

These are experienced bowlers they certainly don't need a dobby bowler who done the square root of cock all in his career telling them how to bowl.

Agree but the ECB will never learn. Always appoint lickers or from the old boys network. Michael Vaughan would be the perfect coach but like you said we have a cock as a coach but who says what the ECB want him to. A Muppet on a string . I feel so sorry for Joe Root our one only truly world class player .

I think Jimmy Anderson wants a word with you

 

[A1X]

I think Jimmy Anderson wants a word with you

And his mate Stuart will back him up

 

[OzMike]

Terrible performance all round.
Don't want Vaughn involved either as he has turned into a media **** since retiring, up there with Warne.
A seasoned ex pro who knows test cricket, any suggestions ?

 

[Titanic]

England need a breakthrough, or this is gong to be a long day... tight but toothless this morning...

33-0 (23 overs)

 

[vegster]

Can see us ending up getting absolutely caned here. Wouldn't be surprised if India bat today and almost all tomorrow.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Proper opening batsmen making all the difference. Who'd have thunk it?

Plus our bowlers look shagged already.

We knacker ourselves out bowling two foot outside off. India made us play nearly every ball. And we did, BADLY.

 

[maltaseagull]

When I look at our test batting line-up my first reaction is, as always, 50-3.

That is such a negative view!

We got to 66 -3.
Then it went pear shaped at 138! Lost the next 6 wickets for 42
I suspect India will win this by an innings and whitewash the series.

Still, it's good practice for the Ashes

Me and Mrs Crodo are doing a rain dance in our garden this afternoon.

 

[Pavilionaire]

The ironic thing about this performance is that there will be accusations that one-day cricket has ruined the technique of the England players, but we are playing INDIA - the home of the IPL, the biggest short format competition in the world.

 

[CHAPPERS]

This India team is incredible. This England team have had the ridiculous distraction of the Hundreds in the lead up and are bang average anyway.
