Gary Ballance. Consistently averaging 45+ year in year out in county cricket. Averages more than anyone but Root in the current test team. Can someone remind me why he is so 'unpickable' for England? Can anyone honestly say they'd rather have Bairstow coming in at 6 than Ballance in this test with Pope being out?

Another wicket for Curran. And a reminder, if Leach hadn't been ill and had been selected......he'd have been the one on the chopping block.
Or not another wicket....

Broaderson can once again fuck off with their shite short pitched bowling.

Well, that didn't go especially well.

There are mitigating circumstances in this case, but... nope.

Another epic collapse of 7-68 from England, most of the batsmen falling to soft dismissals again.

A very predictable tale of woe ends this shitshow at Centurion. Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.

England may have an illjury crisis (Burns joining the list today) but check out New Zealand's team! Colin de Grandhomme opening the bowling and they're missing Williamson, Nicholls, Boult and Southee, chaos. Can still trust Wagner to get Smith, though

Then CDG did it instead. But yep this is miserable on both sides.

Not nice to see Burns get injured (a first touch Zidane would be proud of though) but hope Crawley does well. I'd have laughed if you'd said to me 12 months ago 2 Kent players would be in England's top order. But here we are!

Oops.
Ben: "I would love england to throw Tom Banton in at the deep end, similar to KP in the ashes in 2005 - off one day form. It is so obvious the natural talent is there and let's face it, his FC record is no worse than Crawley." Go away Ben.

Fortunately we had some utter shite from South Africa as well.

Denly is exceptional at scoring slow 25-45s. Stupid shot to get out, this isn’t a 4 day test! Odds on this triggering a silly collapse?
