TROSaracen Dec 2021 11:16am, 24 Dec 2021 24,530 posts	Quote Pin TROSaracen Oh and Jimmy’s column in the Telegraph is incendiary. After Root’s public criticism of the bowlers post match, it’s a thinly disguised but brutal swipe at the captain and coaches. Undoubtedly a huge split in the camp, about which side is shittier and more responsible for the unfolding disaster.

jda Dec 2021 1:47pm, 24 Dec 2021 11,532 posts	Quote Pin jda Problem is, is there anyone fit to wield the new broom? Anderson and Broad weren’t just picked on past glories, the cupboard is mighty bare. Yes wood and woakes are good on their day but where does a 5 man attack come from?
SPR Dec 2021 1:51pm, 24 Dec 2021 36,045 posts	Quote Pin SPR That was always the issue. The batsmen have been bailed out by the bowlers so many times or left high and dry so the public criticism was extremely rich.
