A total embarrassment 923.

I’m sick of this half a r s e d,self entitled bunch of players,it just feels like Root and his mates.

I can tell Ed Smith right now that Rory Burns is NEVER going to be a success so bin him now.

He bats like he’s got Tourette’s,six separate twitches including that ridiculous head turn towards square leg just before the ball artives!!

Ludicrous......hideous to watch as well.

Denly.........six or seven years too late.

We need players with solid technique and to try younger blood at the top of the order.

The lack of application and a willingness to be patient and guts it out is unbelievable.

Foakes for example.......a proper batsman.

This is as dismal a day I can remember as an England fan.......Root needs to hang his head in shame as does Bayliss,the Aussies must be licking their lips.
