If they can see off the new ball relatively unscathed then they have an age to get the runs. All that effort from the Blundell and Mitchell could be for nothing.

Seemingly so with current injuries but the point remains that Eng's test side is not working and Anderson is at the end of his career. At some point, a rebuilding exercise has to commence.JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jun 04, 2022 10:43 amEnzedder wrote: Fri Jun 03, 2022 10:45 pmThis now ranks as one of those questions whos answer is "Because"Torquemada 1420 wrote: Wed May 18, 2022 11:00 am James Anderson & Stuart Broad recalled by England for New Zealand Tests

Why?
Are the missing words "we would struggle to pick a Test attack otherwise"?
I don't think one partnership changes old man Jimmy getting 4-66 in the first innings at Lord's
Red card for that early attempt at the mockers. NZ mimicking Eng's ability to collapse this morning.

Prematurely retiring Anderson makes no sense when he's still one of our best bowlers. And England's problems are the batting, the batting, the batting, and the spin bowling. That's why the test team isn't working.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Jun 04, 2022 1:16 pmSeemingly so with current injuries but the point remains that Eng's test side is not working and Anderson is at the end of his career.

Total control? 7 sessions to go - 178 needed, 6 wickets in hand and at the crease one of the best batters in Test cricket partnered with one of the most destructive. I would rather be where NZ are - but we are allowed to be a bit concerned aren't we?JM2K6 wrote: Sat Jun 04, 2022 3:28 pm Embarrassing to see supporters of the Test world champions debasing themselves like this despite their team being in near total control of a Test against one of the worst sides in the world
We are one of the worst batting units in world cricket.

No, Stokes can blitz or Root can grind but if other players don't step up we still lose
