Chance of rain is less than 30% before CoP tonight, so Root won’t be factoring that into his thinking at all. Pitch is a bit dead and Smith is basically helping himself (as usual). Get him out and we’d still be very much in with a decent chance - but chasing anything over 250 is pretty much out...
Full time professionals
Better training
More analysis
Much fitter
Better equipment
I assume you think Sam Snead would walk the Open too ? Fred Perry would whup Federer ?
Little bit before my time (Botham, Willis, Edmunds, Embury etc more my formative years). Our current lineup is massively frustrating....talent is there but application sometimes isn’t. I wouldn’t call Root out though as you often do, he’s immense.
I’ve no doubt he’s a nice old chap and he’s completely aware of what he’s posting. He is massively negative on the England cricket team though.........
Not really. @BG is relentlessly negative and/or pessimistic about England cricket on here.....from an admitted position of knowing sweet FA or thereabouts
