I can hear a rather rotund lady belting out a ditty tune.

He's actually scored the most runs in Tests this year. A double ton against India in India (first batsman to do so since 2010), 180-odd in an innings in Sri Lanka (a tough place to bat for an Englishman) and scored hundreds in 3 consecutive matches against India at home(India has the 2nd or 3rd best pace bowling line-up in Tests). Again, no joke to score 10k Test runs.Root like most of the England top order can bat but, not in Australia or in a test match (to any significant standard)
I'm actually being jovial but from a slightly peeved stance.He's actually scored the most runs in Tests this year.

Nice try! Perhaps I should've looked at it from a jovial perspective.I'm actually being jovial but from a slightly peeved stance.
It is a joke to collapse like a chocolate shithouse with a hot tin roof.
Waiting for @blockerdave 's analysisAnother Ramprakashian performance under pressure from Ollie Pope
If we're doing serious selections from people in Australia:Burns
Crawley
Malan
Root
Stokes
Bairstow
Woakes
Bess
Robinson
Wood
Anderson
Are you sure?I'd be calling up Billings
Are you really sure?Rory Burns
Bold move for a team that can't bat dropping the third highest run scorer and only player to get to double figures in every innings.If we're doing serious selections from people in Australia:
I'd be calling up Billings, Vince and Saqib from the BBL right away. Not Joe Clarke though - never Joe Clarke
- Rory Burns
- Haseeb Hameed, Zak Crawley or Jonny Bairstow, don't care
- Dawid Malan
- Joe Root
- Ben Stokes
- I'd bring in Vince, but it'll be Ollie Pope
- Jonny Bairstow or Jos Buttler, unless Ben Foakes is still there?
- Dom Bess
- Ollie Robinson
- Mark Wood
- Saqib Mahmood
No he isn't, just gripping those straws too tightly.Are you sure?

At the moment it helps keep me sane either that or allow the England middle order to banjos to slap a cows arse.Nice try! Perhaps I should've looked at it from a jovial perspective.

I admire the enthusiasm but the 'I can pick a better line up' analysis should be put to bed due to Australia being on their game, who ever you pick will just add to the misery (and hurt).If we're doing serious selections from people in Australia:

Anyone who has seen England play in 2021 would have seen this coming.I admire the enthusiasm but the 'I can pick a better line up' analysis should be put to bed due to Australia being on their game, who ever you pick will just add to the misery (and hurt).
The bigger question is, why does English cricket go into lame mode when we feel were are a better side than we actually are).
Rory Burns is still, somehow, mind-blowingly, England's second-best batter this year.Are you sure?

Very bold of you indeed to assume that you're more aware of what I'm posting than I am.No he isn't, just gripping those straws too tightly.
I don't think it makes a blind bit of difference.

Unfortunately the pandemic has caused a lot of disruption so the chances to watch have been limited, I feel 'again' it's down to lack of preparation and planning. To not even bother offering any form of resistance is embarrassing; very sad when any form of selection would have no effect on the mentality of the team.Anyone who has seen England play in 2021 would have seen this coming.
