Another joke Test match finished in less than two and a half days.

Sandy, don't know if you had time watch it today but the bowling was fantastic. Yes we were fortunate with the conditions but that's the way it is.
We shouldn't have been playing this week anyway!

He ain't gonna reply is he

How starved for attention do you have to be to randomly show up on a cricket thread once every match to try and wind people up with the exact same comment as every previous time.

On topic, Root's comments after the match are a joke. Always someone else's responsibility. Pitiful.

What did Root say?

Ashes 2019: England captain Joe Root has 'no concerns' about team's batting before Australia series - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49128689



In short, he's in denial because fixing the issue would mean admitting that he (and others) are at fault.

Fingers in ears, la la la

To be fair I imagine he knows it, he just doesn't want to say the top order is crap 1 week before the Ashes
