Jesus, he's getting in early.

Pommie cunts usually wait until halfway through a losing Ashes tour to give up.

Wouldnt be like Randall to take one innings in isolation and overreact.

India collapsed as well as soon as the ball started swinging.

It's a worldwide issue, standard of Test batting is as low as it has ever been, and won't improve unless the Test players significantly reduce the amount of T20 they play.

The 100 nonesense will only make it worse.
The mentality to play a long innings has gone
It's not like the bowling now needs to be anything special at test level.

Buttler literally tries to hit every ball bowled to him apart from one hitting middle.

The biggest problem is the next generation of batsmen are travelling to play T20 rather than staying at home to play First Class cricket.

And selectors that pick those players for Test matches rather than the ones who are actually playing proper cricket.
