67 all out. If Archer can take 10-0 we have a chance.
Only if we're allowed three innings.

The depressing thing is that this fiasco is becoming far too common in English test cricket. Where else do we look? Surely we have by now tried all reasonable options and this 11 represents the best we have available. When Root came on the scene he was the bright new hope but now he seems to have been struck by the captains curse. Oh for a Ray Illingworth.

Think you look a little bit silly now Charlie, don't you?
Not really, I never gave the impression England would score many, our batting is clearly a shambles, my point was you often used to defend poor performances / mediocrity.

Stop lying just because you look a chump. You said I was a gloom and doom monger. Very odd thing to say while also saying I'm a rose tinter defending mediocracy. I don't think you know what the fek you are talking about Charlie. ****.

Where have I lied ??

You seem to be struggling to read Geoffrey. I clearly stated you used to defend poor performances / mediocrity giving off a rose tinted view, I didn't say you do that now, that all changed just over a year ago.

Also looking at your recent posts you need to calm down.

Couldn't be calmer relaxing under a totally blue sky, by a pool, with a cold larger to hand. Run along now son.

Little more to say. Maybe our batters should take up hopscotch instead.
