The turning point was us winning the first game of the seasonIndia don’t play too much 4 day cricket. The simple answer is we haven’t been good enough for 18 months. Relying far too much on 1 batsmen and 2 ageing bowlers and not enough talent coming through.
also not winning becomes a habit hard to break. A bit like SUFC......until tomorrow!
Yep could go either way, I'm a fan of Malan but it looks like another day of favourable bowling conditions.Malan needs to stick here for a decent England total or dare i say it,a mini collapse could happen.
Mike Brearley also wasn't in the elite of test batsmen but made up for it in every other area. Yes I know I'm showing my age as I can hear a few saying who?Shame Morgan isn't a bit younger,he's not the greatest Test cricketer ever to grace the game but boy he knows how to captain a side on and off the field,just a thought.
He was unfortunate that he was trying to break into one of the best batting Line ups we had when he first came through - if he was coming through in this generation of test batsman he’d be a mainstay!Shame Morgan isn't a bit younger,he's not the greatest Test cricketer ever to grace the game but boy he knows how to captain a side on and off the field,just a thought.
Am hearing various stories. Apparently backroom staff have tested positive but not one player and on the back of that they don't feel comfortable playing. Can't help but feel it is to with the IPL. Let the rumours and conspiracies begin.
