This is not even a county standard attack and it looks like England have gone in with that on their minds, arrogant cluckers...

Well the first part is sadly accurate. Not quite as easy as predicting a Sussex collapse, but still, worryingly, I don't think anyone is ultra-surprised.

It seems not even Chris Woakes can save us now.

Just the sort of behaviour befitting of the day Boris Johnson takes office.

Have you ever seen anything like this?

So you're saying that instead of playing Roy and Denly, we should have played the test quality top order batsmen who've been flaying the bowling in County Cricket?

So, back to square one. Roy is still not suitable as a test opener and Denly isn’t a number 3.

Well one thing for sure, there are no Sussex batsmen who could improve the team!

England are shocking at Lords.

Seeing loads of England fans really unhappy about this. Yeah if you've got a ticket for Day 4 then be angry, but otherwise this is ****ing hilarious.
