ex_midlandwhite Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 We'll do well to set them a chase of 100 here. 2016 has been as bad a year for the test team as I can remember, if we lose this and the next test I think that might be 8 losses in a year, I bet it's the early nineties since that last happened (granted we play more matches now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex_midlandwhite Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Definitely. No back bone to this side. The batting 'depth' means none of them take any responsibility for me. The selectors have done a very poor job, in fact the only two positives are players they eventually stumbled upon rather than started with. The most odd thing is pundits like Vaughan pander so much to the Yuorkie batsmen in this team that they claim 350 is a par score after England collapse, then India go make nearly 650 ;D Edited December 11, 2016 by ex_midlandwhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex_midlandwhite Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hope they prove me wrong but I do feel this has been a very disappointing year. I know not many teams are winning away from home currently (though Pakistan toured well) but this isnt close. Kohli is class. If his new technique gels him score runs abroad he'll ease to number one in he world for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizlar Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Problem this team have is a distinct lack of a world class spinner which doesn't help on the continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex_midlandwhite Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Fitting end to a very poor year for the test team. The fact we can barely bat for a day to save a game on a deck India scored 759 on shows the lack of resolve in this side. Collapse would be the best word to describe this team in 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didledee Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Love watching England cricket, but glad this was played at silly o'clock and missed em, knew it was on the cards after losing to Bangladesh, hope our good white ball cricket doesn't go to shite now like our test has.

MalcolmW Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Highest first innings score to lose by an innings (and that after being 100/0). Previous record was England's 405 v Australia at the Oval in 1930, when Australia scored 695 and England replied with 251. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
