We can’t even learn the lessons of the line and length that the Aussie bowl us out using.

Buttler is a spineless wet lettuce, I wish they’d just f u c k him off and gives Bairstow or better still Foakes the gloves.

Root needs to resign at the end of this match, show a shred of decency and integrity FFS.
Foakes should be the England wicketkeeper, probably the best English wicketkeeper so should be in the team. I’ve never been convinced about Root’s captaincy but I suspect his record isn’t bad when you look at the stats (I may be wrong there), however, who else could take over as captain? Root is certainly our best batsman (N.B. Batsman, not batter) but I don’t see anyone else in the squad that stands out as captain material. We need a Mike Brearley type.

Money is killing Test Cricket, as well as the county game, because it is all being focused on the frightful 20/20 and the abomination that is the ‘Hundred’.
