Test selection.

[Leicesterbaggie]

Those selecting the England side obviously haven’t learnt the lesson from the First Test. Why Foakes is not in the side is beyond me. Rated by many as the best ‘keeper in the world, he is not deemed to be good enough for England. Bairstow is a very talented batsman and an excellent fielder but only an average wicket keeper. We lost the last game, not because of the early declaration, although it didn’t help, but because of the missed opportunities by Bairstow. I would have kept Bairstow in the side, opened with him and left out either Duckett or Crawley. Leaving out Ali and not bringing in a replacement is the correct move as Root can do a job as well, in my opinion, as any other spinner available.

Gob shyte Robinson bowling at 78 mph, slips dropping catches, maybe we arn’t as good as Stokes and co make out

I get the feeling there’s going to be a right thumping in this test match
I get the feeling Australia will get 500 plus and bowl us out cheaply

Just a I say this we take a wicket

[Bombers right foot]

Buffet bowling by pathetic England, not going to take 20 wkts with speeds averaging 79-82 mph, only Tounge showing some pace
Robinson needs to be replaced by Woakes and Show pony Broad by Wood

Maybe a little less time on the golf course might help, could be better off practicing the basics of cricket, ie catching, not over stepping and showing a bit of energy and enthusiasm in the field

Line I’ve said previously, we are looking at a 0-5 here.
