    I can see a time in the future when we don't have any umpires on the field because so much decision making is taken away from them anyway with the constant reviews and checking of things.

    Sending players home from Lords to return at Oval is one thing but home from SL to return to India quite another.
    Shambolic rotation policy, fit only for producing scapegoats.

    I can understand why they wanted to give people time out of the bubble, but they got it all confused. They knew Ali wasn’t going to play the first test, so may as well have let him go home from Sri Lanka and come back for last two tests and ODIs. Same can be said for Woakes.
    The selection for the last test was woeful.

    That was proper crap wasn’t it. After such a great start in the first test, the rest of the series has been such a damp squib dominated by India.

    Shame it wasn't a more competitive series that's for sure. Losing by an innings and 25 runs when the top scorer only got 101 is embarrassing.

    Root doesn't inspire for me as a captain when the chips are down. You need a good captain for your team.

    I'm off to Sports Direct to buy some cricket gear because there's hope for me watching that dross.
