This with bells on. Only 2 maybe 3 of our batsmen have the mentality required to BUILD an innings. Smith does not take to the pitch and swish 6’s. He is annoyingly patient. Too many of ours do not cherish their wicket, they only know how to play limited over.
Wake up call.
Was Anderson fully fit to start with?
Root is a great batsman but I’m not sure about as a test captain.
Bairstow is not a test match player.
Ali needs dropping to help him, another match like this might destroy the bloke. Lyon showing England what SHOULD have happened yesterday.
