I know England haven't been great in recent times, but we've had some terrible luck too. Winning the toss twice on a road when it didn't matter, then losing the toss when it did matter.

Also think the majority of umpires calls have gone against us in all the away matches. The umpires giving out when the opposition are bowling and not out when we are bowling.

Windies replaced their spinner with a seamer. Inside knowledge of the pitch is home advantage I guess.

Nooooo

Mahmood out for 49 final over of the day

204 all out, could have been much worse

Glad to see Michael Vaughn back on TV after his alleged racism accusations. Always enjoyed his analysis.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Very good fightback by West Indies but some poor bowling as well. Should have been all out 90 minutes ago but the bowling lacked any spark. No one seems willing to bowl consistently at off stump

 

[ToffeeTim]

Woakes Overton opening pair is probably the poorest in England test history.

Do you mean 190?

Nah in the 90s we had some horrors. Still can’t see the reasoning for leaving Anderson and Broad behind then playing a couple of stop gaps. Always make weird decisions

 

[ToffeeTim]

Umpire just didn't give out one of the plumbest LBWs I've ever seen. Back leg right in front of middle and off

Some of the reviews have been abysmal from root, but these umpires are pretty terrible

 

[ToffeeTim]

Root's captaincy still baffles me.

Stop giving easy singles. Stop trying to bowl wide at tailenders

This England team are an embarrassment. One test win in eighteen months, have been outplayed in every series within that period. The batting crumbles every time they're up against it. So predictable.

Too many times they've failed to seize an opportunity to take the upper hand in matches. And they've been over cautious in the few declarations they've made, which has cost them results.

 

[ToffeeTim]

What a terrible effort again. Cant capatilse when they are on top and fall apart when things go against them

Root needs to be replaced as captain. This isn't working.

Surely worst test team now in the rankings. Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are our level now

How long before we LOOSE our test status???

Test playing, is just an after thought now, all Yong prospects go straight into t20 playing now and are conditioned for that.
