Oh, and Burns and Stokes can figure out the captaincy between them. Burns at least has experience as a skipper, he's been a good captain for a good Surrey side for a few years now, and he won the title last night while top-scoring, clearly thriving under the responsibility.
A lot of yorkshire are selected for England.

Can we find room for Craig Overton, he knows how to score runs down the order with some lusty hitting, can actually get Smith out too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No. Pick bowlers based on their bowling. Pick batsmen based on their batting.
Picking bowlers based on their batting is what got us into this position, with people calling for facking Woakes, Bess and Moeen to bat in the top 3
Seriously dont think the aussies will get more than 120 batting like this. Games not over imo

Fack u Warner you cheating Aussie caaant

Like no English player has ever tampered with the ball, they just haven`t been caught. They are all at it, stop with the holier than holier rubbish. Didn`t Atherton try gouging the ball years back. It goes on all the time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't make him less of a cheating caaant. If an English player gets caught they'll be a cheating caaant too.

This
All this ‘we play the game hard but fair’ and ‘we don’t overstep the mark’ bollox that Aussie teams always come out with
They were at it in the last ashes down under, though it made no difference to the outcome

Yep top 7 for me moving forward:
Burns, Sibley, Northeast, Root, Stokes, Pope, Foakes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This. Personally I'd switch Stokes and Northeast though. I'd also be equally happy with Hildreth instead of Northeast but either would suit me.
Either way, the selectors need to (a) pick a good coaching staff, (b) work with that coaching staff to figure out what they're looking for at EACH of the top 7 batting positions, and (c) pick players to hold down those roles. All 7 of them won't fire at the same time, but there needs to be a plan in place. Not random "er let's switch Rooty and Denners and Jonny and Jos and hopefully that'll work, yeah?"
Honestly I'm just so sick of writing the same comments over and over. This performance has been utterly irredeemable. I'm sick of it now.
I honestly want them to just sack Bayliss on the spot. Don't let thestep out on his own terms, strip him of his facking dignity by chucking him right now. What purpose is there in keeping him around for 2 more tests anyway?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's my annoyance with the side too. I don't mind being sh!t if we have a clear plan in place, have picked the best batsman in their positions and aee merely outclassed, but we're not doing that.
No idea what Smith gets paid for because he clearly doesn't watch any actual county cricket if he thinks this is the best 7 batters in England.

Shouldn't have to do the batting if you have proper test players in and not players in the side based on white ball cricket.

Cook "feeling sorry for Joe Root" FFS.
This team will never be any good while they all blow smoke up each others ar5es.
Blimey another batsman got double figures.
Nah Cook has a fair point. Ridiculous to schedule an Ashes series so close to the world cup, our only warm up game was a 1 off test against Ireland which is not enough to get the players switched on.
