Big pressure on Root for these next 10 tests. They will be like Sri Lanka when Anderson/Broad retire.

Facing Anderson in England gives you two escape routes , if you are one of the greatest batsmen in history you may have a very small chance, otherwise suicide .

If we picked phil salt, jason roy, liam livingstone etc for tests and hypnotised them into thinking its a t20 innings we'd definitely score more runs than with these wankers

The way ollie stood up to getting whacked on the head was great. Theres something aussie about him (in that he has balls and confidence and a will to win, not the cheating part)

Buttler is not doing anyone any favours by trying to play test cricket in the traditional sense. He should just try to hit 50 off 40 balls and leave the leaving to root&co

Some of the FC averages are pathetic as well.

Sibley/Lawrence - 38
Buttler - 33
Crawley - 31

Sam Curran is better at batting than them.

They should bring in Carlson from Glamorgan. 790 CC runs @ 66 and he's taken to captaincy like a duck to water - Glamorgan top of one day cup group.

Most likely go back to the same old duds like Moeen or Vince lol.

India should also be a bit worried about how close it was vs a decent bowling unit + 1 batsman.

They would probably have won if hadn't rained but it could easily have got very squeaky bum time.

If I am incorrect you can sue me. Liquidate all your assets, put all the money on a draw, reserving a small amount to put some insurance on to edge against England having a complete mental collapse.
