Oh how i wish you were right, Chaddy.

so do I.

Time for Bell to go.

I wouldn't get rid of Bell.

But Lyth and Ballance have to get a score in the second innings

if they fail maybe time for a change.

But I might be tempt to bring in Finn or Rashid in the next test depending on the type of wicket we play on

[Al]

In place of who Chaddy? If you are thinking of dropping Moheen do you really think we can do without his batting?

[ABBEY]

hahahaha chaddy does fickle again hahaha...

Noone can convince me Ballance is better than KP.

still un convinced

[ABBEY]

said this before and KP wont be playing for England.

so lets get behind the current team and support them. looking good for a 1st test win so far

get behind them until they fail and then get shut like your advocating is NOT getting behind the current team ...

LYTH gone to a silly brain dead shot!!!!!!!! 12/1

Lyth has got out twice very poor and both times didn't have to play at the ball. I think it might be time for a new opening batsman coming in. Maybe Hales

In place of who Chaddy? If you are thinking of dropping Moheen do you really think we can do without his batting?

Maybe Wood if we play 2 spinners.

I just don't believe Ali is good enough at this stage to be your first choice spinner. I like Ali as a player and his batting is his main strength IMO.

Edgbaston has been a spinning wicket this summer I believe

get behind them until they fail and then get shut like your advocating is NOT getting behind the current team ...

Lyth gone to a silly brain dead shot!!!!!!!! 12/1

Still fully behind the team and that's why I have bought tickets for test matches.

I will get behind any England player who play for the team.

[ABBEY]

top line you want a new opener....

2nd from last line...you are still fully behind the team....

MAKE YOUR MIND UP

[ABBEY]

what goes on in their heads..LEAVE IT YOU DONT NEED TO PLAY IT...GOT AGES TO BAT FFS!!!!!

what don't you get Abbey?

It was fairly easy to understand

[AllRoverAsia]

What odds on Bell & Root batting through?

It's not easy to understand ... You said you are fully behind the team but want Lyth dropping . That's not fully behind the team .

What odds on Bell & Root batting through?

I'd say 10000000000/1

yes it is Abbey.

[ABBEY]

How ?you want a player(s) dropping .

Are you happy at us always losing three wickets or more for less than 50?

Have England got a sightseeing trip lined up tomorrow ? They sure don't want to play then

Edited July 19, 2015 by ABBEY

[matt83]

These have been England's starts to test innings in 2015:

42/3 today

30/4

73/3

43/3

177/1

62/4

30/4

74/3

38/3

62/6

125/1

144/1

34/3

52/3

Other than the innings vs New Zealand and both innings in Grenada it's pretty rank stuff from the top order. Embarrassing actually. Perhaps more surprisingly during that period not lost a series (yet).

Life is going to be tough for the next few days.

Yet again Abbey, where have I said that I'm happy keep losing three wickets or more for less than 50?

If so show more where I said that then Abbey?

[ABBEY]

You are fully behind the team so must be happy at what's happening

[Gav]

I think Lyth, Balance and Bell should all be feeling vulnerable for the next test. Balance looks petrified, Bell looks past it and Lyth will come again I'm sure.

But with KP never getting in the side I'm not sure we can replace any them to be honest.
