This is as bad a batting spell as I've ever seen from an England side. With us all but beaten I wonder if Root regrets not chasing those get able runs at Lords now??

Close, 122-9, dreadful.
Bad call by root to bat after winning toss.
This is one of the poorer England sides. Not very good in any of the 3 areas.

Sussex just won their second game in T20,a comfortable win over Hampshire. Some big hitting by Salt and Bopara. Also Sussex played another 16 year old for his second game,Archie Lenham,3-14 off 3 overs tonight. Both his Dad and Grandad used to play for Sussex as well.
I don’t like cricket wooohoo
I'm actually at the point where I think Bairstow has to come back into the top 5 as a batter. Much more likely to get a score than Pope, Lawrence or Crawley.
In fact the likes of Woakes, Curran and Moeen are better with the bat than some of this top 7. And they are bowling all rounders.
Where is Chris Woakes by the way? Has he played since he won England that Pakistan series last year? Im really confused how he cant get a game.
They may also need to look at playing both Buttler and Foakes in the top 7 with Foakes taking the gloves.
Going to Australia they need to pick experienced players who can cope with the pressure. If that means picking a slightly unusual side with a couple more all rounders then they should do it. The young batsman coming through dont see to be ready. You can't compete in an Ashes with a top 3 of Sibley Burns and Crawley. Only Burns is really cemented into the team.
