Changes needed

Out

Bairstow . Big headed,beardy cunt with a huge ego who's failed too many times recently

Ali. No words needed

Broad. We have two other medium paced right armers and we need something different. Can't drop Woakes with his record at Lords

Anderson, not fit



In

Foakes. Better batsman,better keeper

Leach.

Sam Curran

Big Joffers.

As expected. The Test team's ability to bat for any length of time saving a game went years ago. The amount of thumpings it has had is ridiculous.

Gotta think Buttler's place is under threat too.
And still question marks over both openers.
Oh, and Denly not good enough.

A while ago there was a young Asian lad whose name I’ve forgotten, who opened the batting for England in a test series and did really well, played proper sensible innings and looked like a natural.

People were saying he would be an opener for years to come, and had solved the problem of the top order - then he got quite badly injured and was going to be out for a year or so, and that was the last I heard of him.

Can someone tell me his name and what happened to him?

Hameed at Lancashire? He had a terrible run of form and went into their second team for a bit I think, though he's now in the first team again.

The same Broad who took six wickets in the match?

As per, the beefy big boy Aussie Alphas rock up, drop trou and ask the fair maidens to compare their meaty girthy lengths to our frightened shrivelled pasty little microsnails. The outcome is a devastating, brutal humiliation.

It gives me no pleasure but it was one of the easiest to call. Another embarrassing humiliation. Gutless

Players either off form or too used to white ball cricket. The World Cup has done most of them. Changes needed for the next test with a couple pretty obvious. Would also go for Foakes though as with many not sure how much red ball cricket he has played.

Well, the good news is that it shut the Barmy fucking Army up for two seconds, once the rules of cricket had been explained to them and they realised that England had lost.
