Ali out last ball of the session, bottled it. Up to Root like usual now, Prior should be playing for his career but can't see him lasting long the way he's wilted against the short ball. Gutted though, it was the perfect session until that last delivery! | |

England day 5 on 14:39 - Jul 21 with 1123 views | aleanddale | The whole of the last over before lunch was gutless.. 3 balls previous Root ducked into one with his eyes tight shut and then Ali did the same!! Test cricketers will pounce on any percieved shortcomings and i expect Root will be fully tested with the short ball now for the remainder of the India series and beyond. | | | |

He should have called time when Swann did in the winter. Wonder who the selectors see next in the pecking order? Buttler? Bairstow? Read? | |

His statement says that he's not been fit for the last two tests. Surely he should have raised that before the first test. | | | |

Just read the the statement, he's not retired, he's just cried off injured, lacks class really. So many concerns with the current England side, batsmen bottling it, bowlers length's being complete and utter shite, which can only be tactical for Jimmy to do it so often and no leadership. Vaughan says Morgan should be reinstated to the team as captain, I thought we'd established he wasn't good enough at test level... | |

If they were picking a team based on those good enough at Test level, the next game would have to be a five-a-side. | |

England day 5 on 23:07 - Jul 21 with 826 views | Daley_Lama | The anti-KP camp is getting smaller and smaller Strauss - Gone Swanny - Gone Prior - Gone Cook - only captain because there is nobody else being picked to give it to. (please don't say Bell) Take the Captaincy off Cook, give it to KP, bring in Jos Butler, give Stokes a rest so that he can go back and get very good at either of the disciplines, wa la. | |

I agree with all of that - however there is one small problem with the KP thing, namely Peter Moores. ECB won't fire him to accommodate KP and there would seem to be no way either of them are grown up enough to work with each other. No tests for a while after this series - give Jimmy the metaphorical armband for the last 3 tests (which isn't a long term solution as I expect he will retire once he's reached 400 wickets) and see where the land lies after the World Cup. | | | |
