Second Test: England v South Africa, Nottingham, July 14-18

[backfootpunch]

I'd suggest writing a letter to the icc if it's that much of a concern

Not posting the same thing over and over and over

We all want teams to bowl their overs faster, you really don't need to keep banging the drum

I almost never come on here anymore because of this, every England test match discussion is just full of the same posts from the same poster

We get it, but we can't do anything about it, so just let it go

much more polite than i was going to be if my patience ran out

I used to enjoy coming on here when I was watching the cricket

Now I just don't see the point as most posts from a certain poster fill half of every page with the same points

you would have been fine last week as he was strangely missing for most of it as England were doing well

Unfortunately I was at work for most of the game so was restricted to watching the highlights

One of Jennings and balance will be dropped if the top order doesn't function better tomorrow I reckon

Though I can't see either having a long test career

Neither look convincing in attack or defence

i hope they are going to be bringing a batsman in to replace Dawson, not so sure they will be keen to bring in 2 new batsmen

Question is who can they bring in?

Wonder if trott fancies a comeback or colly

Stoneman or Westley i think and move Ballance down to #5

[Dr Cricket]

does nasser even watch cricket, didn't even know Faf had a good defence.

[Dr Cricket]

ballance should be dropped not moved to number 5.
2 changes for me Ballance out, Dawson out.
Mason crane or Rashid in, Ballance for stoneman.

England really need to stop playing 10 players, can't remember the last time they played 11 players.

[andy]

ballance should be dropped not moved to number 5.

for once, we agree on something

[rich1uk]

as i said i'll be amazed if they bring in 2 new batsmen after just 2 tests

and they have got to replace Dawson with a batsman as he is just wasting a spot

[andy]

We need Hameed to start scoring some runs soon...we are gonna need reinforcements at the top of the order...can he get back to way he was...there was a thought among a few at the start of the season, that the fact that he played his first one day game this season, may have affected his form in longer formaty of the game..not saying i agree but it was touted round before start of test summer...

[The Professor]

Been very impressed with Philander thus far. 280 runs and 18 wickets not to be sniffed at.

EDIT: Sorry misread a stat

[Dr Cricket]

must be a typo not sure philander taken 18 wickets.

[Dr Cricket]

not sure where you getting those numbers from either considering philander only taken 5 wickets also he scored 167 runs.

[Durhamfootman]

We need Hameed to start scoring some runs soon...

pity there is no red ball cricket for him to score runs in

if they were to drop Dawson for the 3rd test, they would be admitting that they got the team selection for this series horribly wrong.... and they always get selection right... everyone should know this by now.
