The pitch is reckoned to seriously deteriorate in the second half of the match but that was seemingly offset by the amount of grass the pitch has. Of course, not playing a spinner rather influences that decision too.0

Surprise surprise we are still shocking with the bat.0
-
150-6 and Stokes gone - de Koch has taken 5 catches to date which says as much about our batting as their bowling0
-
This has an all too familiar ring about it........Butler left to ‘hopefully’ steer the ship as best he can with the tail.0
-
Denly one of the few to bat properly once more yet people want him dropped.
The Naby Sarr of England.1 -
These pathetic jobs for the boys selectors need firing asap. Bairstow is the last straw2
-
Buttler gone for 12.
Broad in.

181 all out. Thank God for Denly or it would be even worse.0

In the Caribbean its known as a Calypso Collapso. What is it when in SA....??
A total shambles....???0 -
Philander retiring from Test cricket and returns figures of 14.2-8-16-4. Who needs a "holding" spinner when a seamer can do that?
Somerset will be one lucky county to get him because he is so suited to English conditions1 -

England went from 142/3 to 150/6 and then 176/6 to 181 allout.
So 3 wickets for 8 runs & then 4 wickets for 5 runs.
Awful.1 - Sponsored links:

Clearly for this test their hands were tied with Pope. The point is, it's been obvious since last winter that Foakes should be pur keeper and even more obvious after the summer that he should have been on the tours.
Bairstow should be nowhere near the side. He was dropped after a shocking couple of years and tole he needed to go and play some red ball cricket in order to get picked again. Hes then recalled to the squad after playing exactly zero red ball cricket. Joke.

I would have no objection to Pope playing, were he fit. He's not. But I am not sure it's wise to drop one of your better players for a wicket keeper who wasn't chosen to tour.1 -
Root likes all his mates in the team, never in a million years is he a good captain.0

What an absolute shower!

Did I suggest the failure of the team was down to 2 players? You know full well I didn't say anything of the sort. I simply pointed 2 players who have consistently failed in the side for more than 2 years and said they shouldn't be there. I also suggested the 2 player I want to replace them with going forwards (the same 2 players most people on social media are calling for).
You then did your annoying little WUM stuff twisting what had been said, ignoring a reasoned response and trying to shout someone down. It's boring and you ruin every cricket thread by picking someone to repeatedly do this to. Get back in your hole. Child1 -

Time for a completely different Test side to the T20/ODI line up - with the possible exception of three players namely Stokes, Curran and Archer who would have to be "managed" accordingly.
