England v Sout Africa 2nd Test Trent Bridge

[Altobelli]

Bairstow going early after lunch, Moeen and Stokes still there but a review on Moeen now.. . .. . . . . umpire has to reverse his decision and he's given not out.

England 120 for 5, Moeen 25 Stokes 17.

[Altobelli]

Moeen now gone for 27, poor shot to fielder, we are giving them the game.

122 for 6.

[Altobelli]

England all out for 133, SA win by 340 runs, well done SA, but that last innings by us was disgraceful.

[Altobelli]

England have lost 6 of their last 8 Test Match's and 8 of their last 13.

So consistent aren't we! We haven't found the Root of the problem it seems!

Haha. The root of the problem is the fact that we have very few players with the necessary batting technique for Test cricket. We have improved immeasurably in teh T20 and 50 over game, however, I think this has come at a cost to our Test team.
As I said before, we also seem to be obsessed with bowling too short which doesn't give the ball enough time to swing.
We need to rebuild and to do it quickly although I am not sure who we are going to bring in.

A very, poor performance with only Anderson emerging with any credit. Pity he can't bat.
