Home tests 2017
A stunning performance from debut boy Toby Roland-Jones yesterday, the knock from Ben Stokes was a bit special as well.
It helped England that Philander was unwell but I still wish him a speedy recovery, on a drip in hospital last night.

Hopefully today and Monday the weather will behave for once.

Re: Home tests 2017
A comprehensive victory by England, much improved on the dire performance at Trent Bridge.
Moeen Ali gets a hat trick, in fact three England bowlers had a chance of a hat trick in this match.

Re: Home tests 2017
Well they have a habit of following a good win by a poor performance, especially when bowling first, plenty of rain and a draw would do.

Re: Home tests 2017
Seems to be a case of win the toss, win the match. The expert pundits might not like it but it might be as simple as that. I'd like to see them do away with the toss in Test matches as they have in county cricket, and the away captain gets to decide.

Nothing is ever simple like that all the time MR K.

It is in this series Den and a lot of Test cricket, there seem to be very few close matches any longer. The side that wins the toss and bats first dominates. Just as it is predictable when we go to the subcontinent we'll lose, at home we'll win (usually ). Getting rid of the Toss and giving the away captain the choice would even things up a bit.

Re: Home tests 2017
Geoffrey Boycott - love him, but this has got to be one of the best wind ups ever....

Re: Home tests 2017
Another crushing win by England, the top order is still well below par Cook excepted. Can't keep relying on the middle order to bail them out.

Not bad for a number 8 batsman and 'second' spinner.
