First thing i saw today . to be fair on Pope that delivery was unplayable. Just the rest of his career thats ben naff

I actually think he's a top batter but putting him back in at 3 made no sense. Should be him and Brook battling for the 5 spot with Bairstow vs Foakes for the 7 spot.

Utterly pointless this team. What a bunch of losers.

Imagine my surprise when Bairstow turns out not to be the saviour of the England test side

Again

Bairstow is bowled?? nah

Whats the excuse this time?? IPL no much time to play proper cricket? We are on a learning curve?
etc etc etc.

Bairstow's averages vs balls that are going to hit the stumps is 13.5 can't bat against straight bowling

posted on 4/6/22

In fact, imagine my surprise when a whole bunch of gut selection decisions about the batting lineup are made - none of which is backed up by the stats - and none of them work out

Pope at 3
Bairstow at 5
Stokes at 6
Foakes at 7
Crawley playing at all

Through the gate again.....🙈

Amanda, no matter what position you bat them.. They are just not good enough.Popes had plenty of chances at 5 and 6

If I were Harry Brook, I'd retire from test cricket and commit myself to the white ball teams

Get back Ben!

Sir Alastair Cook

Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

Is this the twist? Is this where the game turns?

Just looked at the score. How many more chances does Crawley, Pope and Bairstow get.

Pretty sure he won the Ashes a couple of times as captain. Not sure we can blame him for Englands issues.

And we have not had an opener of his class since he retired, sadly.
