    Dont agree hes been bloody useless for the test team since he's been here and you won't find many who would disagree with that.

    Root needs to make the most of this.

    Getting lucky and needs to play himself into form.

    Its one of them where you cant have everything. Thats why i think we should have 2 coaches and 2 lots of selectors. Dont mix the 2 games and make the selection mistakes we have

    Compelely agree on two coaches.

    1 for short forms and 1 for test.

    I would have 2 lots of selectors and 2 coaches

    Treat them as different sports and pick players based on their ability in that form of the game

    I agree it doesn't look good . In fact it looks **** . We will wait until the Aussies have a bat . Though 142 tested and in all that time the team bowling first has only win 3 times . This could be the 4th.....

    I would tell Buttler to come out 1 day mode this morning. Try and get about 40-50 runs and get the Aussies in. They will be 5-1 when Broad gets Warner as per.

    Englands batting really needs sorting out. Get the gloves off Bairstow. Get him to sort his batting out else drop him. Foakes should have the gloves

    Root and Burns had us in a great postition and then too many people give their wicket away. That cant continue any longer

    They've really not deserved the support they've received this series.

    Other then the last hour at Headlingly and Archer’s spell at Lords. We havent really had a memorable session

    But as I said. I think both England and the Aussies looks mentally shattered. The world cup has taken the edge of some of the players

    Yeah when a few played against Ireland I thought it was a bit harsh.

    They've played a lot of high pressure cricket recently.

    Another pathetic effort.
