Would be grosslly unfair atttributing failure to Root. England simply lack world class batsmen and they are persisting with James Anderson and Broad for far too long. Need to give youngster opportunities to fill their void once they leave

Listening on TMS to the last test Andy Zaltsman gave an interesting stat about Anderson. The last 3 or so years his average movement of swing is about 1.3 degrees before that it was more tha 3 degrees. The NZ bowlers were swinging the ball much more than Jimmy in these tests. It does appear that although his physical fitness seems high his bowling action is less effective.
I would not be surprised if his bowling average has ben substantially higher as well. No doubt, he has been among the world's best for lot part of his career but its time for rookie to take his place.

I've just discovered that the test team sponsers sell used cars, so it's hardly surprising that a team sponsored by a used car salesman has many faults.
Lads - Any harm in using this Thread for the Test Championship final and the England v India games???
or do we need multiple match threads?
