    If we can get it right in the 1st Innings, then we could dominate the test scene
    A few things we still need to do
    Find a stable reliable opener
    Get a solid 3rd seamer ( Robinson when fit )
    We desperately need a quality spinner
    And next year we need to strike bowlers to replace Anderson and Broad

    Will be interesting to see how this new approach translates to the Indian/Pakistani wickets where traditionally teams need to grind out runs at 2 an over on spinning wickets.

    I would say Potts has done a very decent job

    Yes, I really like Potts. Not sure if Archer will ever sustain a test career, so interesting to see what happens when Anderson and Broad eventually retire.

    On the spinner front, I wonder if they'll bring Moeen back - he's been making noises about being open to a return

    You were definitely right, if you ignore all the times over the last decade that you haven't been!

    I get the feeling the only reason to play him is because he's an aggressive batsmen. I thought Leach has done ok this summer

    I agree. Would be great if we had someone like Swann in his prime.

    Absolutely. He would be ideal

    Leach is rubbish and should be dropped immediately so he can return to playing for Somerset full-time. :D

    I feel the same about Root and Bairstow

    Yes. Why is it we can be so consistently good at test cricket but rubbish at this limited over nonsense ?

    Ball swerving all over the place. Looks pretty impossible to bat out there.

    Disappointing for the crowd that they won’t see much of a contest but potentially a lot of them will be Indians I guess .

    You say that but India still need 38 runs from 35 overs with 10 wickets in hand. Could yet go to the wire.

    1-1 going into the final game .

    Very good showing by the England bowlers - particularly Topley.

    Ha yes .

    Goodness knows what would have happened had Lancashire won after that !

    England all out for 259 - probably feel it's below par but we defended less the other day.

    Strange shots by Wiley and Overton meant we were all out with 4 overs to go

    Reece Topley doing the business again

    If we can get Pant out soon should be winning this .
