Only 47 overs bowled at tea is diabolical

We won't even get a new ball in the night session

Perhaps they just assume England won't last that long?

Lol Neser isn't bouncing Stokes there, he's bouncing Carey. Get back where you belong

One thing I now suddenly remember about Smudges previous Captaincy, is his tendency to let a game just drift along.

It's been our biggest issue since Clarke retired tbh. Every captain since has pretty much had long periods where they seem to just switch off and hope for a breakthrough.

Not sure if that means it's the same problem for all those captains or if it's something tactical in the set up that's carried through

A lot of same same here.

Pity Lyon and/or Webster aren't available for selection.
