    There's plenty of young talent coming through in all positions and a fair few older (25-30) in County who could be international level but timing wise there hasnt been a vacancy for them. My main concern with the future of England's pace bowling...

    I really don't think so. Was the biggest turning point in the game imo. It was well balanced at that point, and subsequently England capitulated. If Root bats sensibly it relieves pressure on the lower order, occupies time at the crease, wears...

    This guy! He was real plain/straight edge then went on a podcast where the host gave him weed brownies that were way to strong for him and he went full schizo afterwards. The video is probably still on YouTube, it's kinda hilarious and terrifying.

    Agreed I think Bairstow should focus on white ball from now on, its his strongest format and he's at an age where juggling all formats isnt really possible even if youre world class, which he has never been in red ball. Brook seems a natural...

    Hopefully. The more I think about it the more annoyed I am getting. The team needs batsmen who can hold an innings together. If they're all trying to blast off, what we see is it coming off for one or two of them each innings which results in a...

    Yeah. I think the middle order feed off 'backs against the wall' situations. Extremely disappointing today and this series. We've spent years saying how hard it is for Root and Bairstow to be coning in at 20-2 or 50-3 and how much easier it'd be...

    I think it's completely balanced at the moment, which is what you want to see on the 2nd day of a test match. Would have India slight favourites but only because of the two teams' ability rather than the scorecard atm. Root and Bairstow haven't...

    Was me. 19/4 odds, which isn't great but still a healthy return.

    I won £120 betting on Wood to get 3+ wickets in first innings, was inspired to put some of the winnings on Root to make a first innings century after reading the chat in this thread!

    33-3 Amazing start for England after losing the toss, with an inexperienced middle order and quite a long tail to come! India must be nervous!?

    Have a bet on Wood to get 3+ wickets in the first innings, couldn't have asked for a better start :lol:
  • Trequarista10 replied to the thread England Tour of India.
    England have picked Wood and Anderson for this one, leaving Bashir out. Will be interesting to see how that pans out. Also had a thought that I don't think has been mentioned much or at all. How much can Joe Root's lack of runs be attributed to...
  • Whether or not he's good enough for us, his style is really enjoyable to watch. Bit of a throwback, plenty of hustle, high intensity.
  • I don't think he's a forward, BUT, if Hojlund were to get injured I think I'd rather give McTominay a run of games upfront ahead of Martial, Rashford or any of our other options. All his best work is closest to the opposition goal. Might be worth...

    I agree they often speak about loyalty and have backed Leach (and others). Eventually it will expire though. Possibly not in the next 12 months, but not much after. Ultimately they have to make tough decisions and let people go eventually. For...
