Not content with getting himself out Ballance is now getting other people out too.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

The three roles of APCs:
Transports.
Supply trucks.
Distractions.

I've seen England players get out the way Cook did depressingly often. Try to be aggressive against the spinner, keep hitting the fielders, build frustration then get out edging a cut shot to the keeper. Happening after a drinks break was the icing on the cake :(.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Probably call that honors even all told. Would've been totally different if Haddin could loving catch though

We've bowled OK but there is always a bad ball coming to release any good work.

Root is a good player but we went full on mental before lunch. As much as I hate to say it.....Clarke should bowl Watson for a few overs.

We are desperate for his wobbly stump to stump stuff. He's probably too tired to bowl or something. Tough session and a bit in the slips.

Also stop being so arsey root.

Agreed.

I'm quick to bag him out but he's pretty good so long as he isn't yobbing it up. It's why I'm pretty sure nine instructs them to carry on like buffoons for "ratings"
