They dropped all the catches

Made no runs

And don’t take wickets

Why are they in the team?

One of them is a specialist bowler and vice captain yet hasn’t bowled a single delivery.


If only they would play red ball cricket……

Another drop by the white ball cricketer

If there was ANY DOUBT about the merits of playing red ball cricket…….i hope it’s there now for all to see

Ironically, Justin Greaves is arguably the team’s best slipper

I feel sorry for the fans who gone down to support them and seeing this.


The so called MECCA and Fortress myth has long been busted.


5 down already is more than up the creek.

Mike Atherton's shitty Pommie team busted that fortress way back in 1994 - 31 years ago.

I am trying to understand what you are saying here?

Did Brandon King not play this past FC season?

Did Shai Hope not play?

Justin Greaves? Roston Chase?

Sure they did not play the full season but they showed up for it.

Allow them to attain some experience. It's early days yet. Except for Alzarri and still he deserves his place in this team

Thanks

you miss the point there is a reason why certain players that play limited overs excell in the limited overs tournament while they struggle in test cricket like no field restrictions,no limitations on how much one bowler can bowl etc.just throwing in limited overs players are not going to make it better

Yet those same white ball batters are still better than those that strictly focus on red ball cricket:

You have nuff mout fuh de white ball players, while simultaneously giving the red ball players a pass

I not missing any points.
