Thought with all the cricket we should be playing in county matches our players should be match/cricket fit but these guys look like still hang over from new year break! Sad showing!
No good if half are over the IPL though while the rest are playing county with guys who probably resent them based on contracts and the fact they seem to be able to walzt in and out the team when they want.Loved this line from Nasser
Can't bowl when the ball isn't moving, Can't bat when the ball is moving !
Pretty much sums us up at the moment, I knew we'd fold up like a cheap deckchair this morning. Broad can never be counted on with the bat in a fight, too many scars.
Another missed opportunity for Andersen to get his first test century... how many more chances does he need !
Buttler played a good innings, but doing it in the last session of a day with an old ball, versus first up in the morning fresh bowlers and a new ball - he didn't look quite so clever.
Who else is there ?

England’s worse home performance for a long long time. Well done to Pakistan however this England side really need to pull their socks up. Losing in sport is fine but to lose in this manner is pathetic.
Same as in Australia. Someone will say so.mryhing to hurt Root's feelings, we'll come out fighting and win, then back to the nonchalance. Rinse and repeat.
Root's not ready to be captain. His decision making is poor (experience maybe). The selectors also need to be more adventurous - tried and tested only at being beat is not a good avenue.

Exactly this, has hardly had a decent score since being made captain either.
so who is it to be, i agree Root is not the man at the moment, i would tell Cook TO pick it up again .thought he made a good captain, but said it affected his performances, so now his performances are no better, this would hopefully get Root back to the form he once had, if cookie doesn't want to do it drop him, and give it to James Anderson, hes been round the block a few times , we cant do any worse , I know this is thinking outside the box a bit .but hey we are pretty crap at the moment, ps get moeen ali back in the side , Exactly this, has hardly had a decent score since being made captain either.
