didnt really start well with anderson saying about the less than ideal preparation for this series. flat pitches and england are an awful combo

TCM. AS AN ENGLAND FAN! I want to win all the time. I don't want top order collapses all the time.
You need to go back over the last 6/7 years. and look at the amount of times we have been 4/5 down for NOTHING. its a joke.
So we beat Sri-lanka. does this excuse this batting performance? and thirdly England won the toss in all 3 games and won the game. every time we bat second we fail by the looks of it

Jeezus...WTF

We had them by the throat at 3pm...not impressed

Aye aye......What’s going on here then.......

Dayaam didn’t England do this last time there were in the Carrabian

curran and foaked 200 partnership is happening

Joseph in the act...

As a Pakistani fan and one that’s more than accustomed to a collapse or 2, you guys have my sympathy

Apparently , windies are moving forward after getting rid of t-20 superstars like Gayle, Bravo.

England just get intimidated by WI all the time. They always tend to lose atleast a match whether at home or away against them. Seems like the old WI legends have left a lifelong scars on the English players

Hope looks a talent

Won 3-0 under Micheal Vaughan, in the same series Lara scored 400. Goes on to show how far srilanka has gone down after retirement of Sanga and Jayawardena, because england have been poor overseas .

Agree but this English team relies heavily on batting depth so they won't be all out for a humiliating 76....They will post a face saving 125

I meant a face saving 77

WI will have to do a WI to lose this match. If I were WI would impose follow on.

Absolute shambolic batting performance.
I thought we left these type of performances long behind.

Not in tests we haven't

If WI add another 150 runs, England will only pray that they can salvage a draw from this match. Too many bits and bobs players in this side for my liking

Root out!

Lmao what the fak is this chit. Can't wait to watch the debate with good ol' Bob.

That English spin king turning the game on its head by the looks of it ... Mike Ali.

Mike Ali, could have achieved more in his career. But seems his mind is elsewhere .probably thinking about death a lot But who knows.
Any way. England will lose today if not early in tomorrows play.

Mike Ali was that a typo?

Yes kash the joys of predictive text..... Moeen Ali.

But wtf is Liverpool on about with the death comment? There are many England players that have faced and spoken about their inner demons and mental illness. If Moeen is struggling with something (not sure if he is or not presume he is based on Liverpool’s comment) then some English fines ought to do well to support him and other in fighting any depression / illness.
