Poor coach, Poor captain, poor fielding and most worryingly very poor batting.
Don't understand how can be so good in white ball cricket and so poor in red ball?
Morgan is such a better captain than Root, always feel Joe doesn't take it seriously.
Trouble is as usual they'll the bowlers but not the batsmen.
There's been a Lincoln City banner hanging from the front of the Yu Stand for each of the four days of this Test. Greater consistency than England's batting.
Fixed for you Notty.Noticeable that several players got out playing limited shots.
It went that way for me when Sky got the rights. I have not watched a test match since and I used to watch loadsI can see test cricket going the way of county cricket, tbh.
At the moment, watching England's batting is a pretty grim occupation, even for the neutral.

Limited is as limited does.
Hoping for rain, I had a few quid (based on a forecast that hasn't really materialized) on the draw!
Yep.Bairstow a case in point. Gets to 30 with little real trouble and then falls for the oldest trick in the book and holes out at deep square. The Indian fielder didn't even have to move to take the catch.
In limited over cricket, that's fine. In test cricket it's dumb.
Yep.
Interestingly, I heard a comment on tv yesterday regarding Sibley. Along the lines of this. Cricket fans complain that we don't have batsmen with test cricket discipline, then when one shows it he's not good enough because he doesn't score quickly enough.
As we know, there's a balance to be struck. Perhaps it's just too much for some to achieve. Too much ridiculously short form stuff can't ever help. It's pretty clear that the cricket authorities couldn't give a stuff. They are too busy getting love island people promoting the latest dumbed down version of the sport.
