Days gone by we got bowled out cheapily but that was against some of the great bowlers of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns is the only one looking anything like consistent at the moment, although a few are consistently chronic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Root gone. I truly hate this team. Pathetic. Sack them all. India and Australia will destroy us deservedly. We'd struggle to give Bangladesh a game like this. Utter utter garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2021 This is utterly humiliating. The one thing they should be is competitive at home, but they're miles off. Batting is incredibly poor and I suspect Anderson and Broad are now well passed their peak (certainly Anderson anyway) and it looks like no one else is going to replace them. No batters and no bowlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 12, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2021 Put it into context though. The population of New Zealand is under 5m. There's more frickin cockneys in the world than Kiwis. Merely by the rule of numbers we ought to easily find a team to beat this lot. How do they manage to find batsmen who can all score easily and bowlers who can knock off the wickets so much more easily than we can? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'll be honest my.perspective was swiftly altered whilst watching the football earlier. Feel a bit of a bit being annoyed by the cricket. Full credit.to new Zealand (b) who have outplayed. Of all the test sides they.are at least more palatable opponents to lose to. I'll enjoy what cricket there is tomorrow anyway. 11am pints! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they manage to find batsmen who can all score easily and bowlers who can knock off the wickets so much more easily than we can? I think they apply themselves better and are more prepared to "dig in" when necessary than we are. I don't think our batsmen work at their game enough. Consistent errors can be eliminated with coaching and if batsmen are prepared to listen to advice. I get the feeling that too many of our batsmen think that once they have a central contract they have arrived and have done enough. I also think Silverwood's interview at the end of the day, which suggested that he was happy with the team selection and was not embarrassed by the day's performance, demonstrated the general complacency that the test team suffer from. I would have sacked him on the spot myself after that interview, his was an uninspired appointment and he needs to go and to be replaced by someone who will not tolerate regular shoddy performances like this. I would have appointed Jason Gillespie, rather than taken the "safe" option of appointing from within, as we did when when Trevor Bayliss left. In the longer term, I think that Eoin Morgan could do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One third of Australia's whole population is the same as London alone too. Back to the cricket... am I the only one who's not a fan of Root? Far too inconsistent.
