…that’s funny. Have to admit that on the rare occasions I’ve smashed a ball over the past 20 years it’s always been accompanied with a shout of “SHEEDY”.
This target would have been very manageable with Stokes and Buttler.
Sibley has done a very good good job for the team today, but boy is he boring to watch
I think they need to shake hands here and call it a day

I think Root should have tried to go for the victory and shut up shop if events started to go bad. They shut up too early.

To be fair, they wouldn’t have declared that early if Stokes and/or Buttler had been playing
I'm not sure that batting line up has the quality to chase those runs. They have a lot of inconsistent young players and they could have gone from 4 down to all out pretty quickly.
Need to find a way to get Leach into the team but that means having to add an extra batting option from somewhere else too.
Don't think bowling was the problem this match in terms of getting leach in. They had one player get 200, if you take that out of the equation there's a result in this game as opposed to a draw.

Boring, boring England. I agree, the Poms should have had a crack and made a plan to shut up shop if they got themselves into a sort of scenario where they were four down with still 40-odd overs to go.

I've a huge problem with this.
1. The guy made these comments when he was 14 /15 years old. When I think back to what I was like, I was quite homophobic back at that age as I had difficulty accepting who I was.
2. It's sad that someone has gone back 15 years worth of social media postings.
3. It also suggests that people who have said some really dumb things in the past can no longer be accepted into society, even after they change.
No time frame given for the suspension? Anything more than missing out on the next test will be an overreaction. He was a teenager who made some poor mistakes but kids deserve the right to prove they have matured and changed.

I think that England should have gone for the win. It was only 4 an over so even though there was no no power hitters in the line up,the team should be good enough to score at that rate.
I think Robinson was totally in the wrong when he put out those tweets,but he has apologised and a one match ban seems appropriate punishment.
Sussex lost again,yes the young bowling attack is under pressure but it’s the senior batsmen,Zyl,Head and the senior bowler,Meaker are the ones who have not performed and let those youngsters down.

You're right. I heard earlier David Gower taking an age to say exactly the same thing before admitting he had no solution.
He's such a pompous erse.
