At this point I feel like they need to tone down the bazball 10% and up the boring defensive play 10%.
Adopt what Australia have done, almost a hybrid of the two. That kind of performance is surely not sustainable.

Well I was wrong. He seemed a but more like Old Root. I am not sure he is happy playing Bazball

Our journeyman seam attack must be the laughing stock of world cricket. Anderson and Robinson are just too SLOW to worry world-class test batsman. Dropping Wood was odd.
Compare that to the likes of Australia, S Africa, and even New Zealand. They have actual pace in their seam attacks. Drives me nuts.
I know Archer and Stone etc. are injured, as English fast bowlers always seem to be. What I don't get it how Oz maintains 90mph seamers that never seam to get injured. We just don't have enough of an emphasis on pace on our green swinging pitches.

How tf has that Root dismissal pitched in line??
Will be an interesting tournament will all the small teams. Look forward to seeing Nepal's youngsters who have rewritten a few records recently. 314 against Mongolia at the Asia games, including a 9 ball 50 by Dipendra Singh Airee. Same match Mala scored a hundred aged 19.
Don't have much expectation from South Africa as bowling does not look great. Players either overcooked from IPL or not played for a while. The middle order of Klaasen, Miller and Stubbs could be fun though.
