Root reckons the sides are evenly matched.
He does know they lost the first test by ten fucking wickets right?

Re: cricket thread
England really need a spinner who can take wickets. Lyon has 8 top-7 wickets so far, Moeen has 1

Re: cricket thread
It's fine batting deep if the top order works. The England lower order find themselves under pressure too often

Re: cricket thread
Keeper's now an all rounder role with keeping the second string but there's still a question over Ali. Is he a batter who bowls a bit or a bowler who bats a bit?

Re: cricket thread
England second string batters collapsing just like there "illustrious" colleagues..
Surely those playing the tests needed time in the middle.

Re: cricket thread
England have decided the wise way of saving the series is to move Bairstow up one place in the batting order.
We still have an impatient useless flid at number three, but I am sure Bairstow being moved up a single place will fix things.

Seem to recall Atherton batted at three in his first test.
