If I were the ECB I'd split the Test and one-day coaching and then throw money at Sussex to let Jason Gillespie take over the Test team.
The team lacks a seriously gritty bastard who can just stay in, regardless of the batting conditions. We’ve never truly replaced Trott, in that regard.
The team is just full of shit bastards who want to play shots.
Absolutely perplexes me that the English county divisions are producing fuck all in terms of international test standard cricketers, but the ECB’s priority is some bullshit revenue grabbing 100 ball game
"To win consistently we're going to have to find a solution to the top three. Is it different players? I'm not sure it is.
It's OK saying, "that's the way we play", but you've got to have different blueprints for how you play."
Id settle for two blockers whod last 20 overs for no runs right now. Astonishing, they seem to have forgotten what the "test" part of test match means.Absolutely perplexes me that the English county divisions are producing fuck all in terms of international test standard cricketers, but the ECB’s priority is some bullshit revenue grabbing 100 ball game
Broad/Stokes/Anderson bowled well so you have to give them credit for their batting although they rode their luck at times. Our batting is much worse than their bowling is good though
Apologies for the hijack with Cptn Cook but I’m hoping he’s not free!Fuck off Bayliss, the experiment is over. Cook to take over as interim coach for the 3rd Test.
