What's confusing to me is that a guy who leads a side that loses half the Test matches it plays is wondering why they can't compete for a Test championship.
That's not how England look at it. They have won 46% of their games. That morally should put them in the picture for the WTC.

They are saving test cricket after all, that should be worth a few points & maybe Stokesy can get his head around it. He once was confused and thought chasing someone around the street bashing them was an act of self defense too.
 
Both can be true, England suck and the test championship is impossible to follow or care about.
Well apparently we're the worst Test team ever (according to our 'fans') and England are the best Test team ever (according to their fans) and look at the rankings.

Let our fans put pressure on the team to perform and let England drink their own bathwater. We might not even have as much talent as England in say three years but if they continue to play T20 cricket in test matches they'll be a joke anywhere but their home conditions specifically designed for it. There's a reason no one in 150 years of test cricket has been successful going for a slog all day and making cocky declarations just to move the game along (amongst all other Bazball BS that apparently makes them the best team ever).

I don't hate that they tried something different, the standard play wasn't working for them either. But it's pretty clear now that once teams figured out decent enough plans it's all over for Bazball.

Stokes is right about the test championship though. Nobody follows it or has any clue who sits where until maybe the last couple of tests in the cycle.

This is going to be a repeat of the first game. We'll have them all out just in time for India to have 10 overs at us tonight and lose 4 wickets under lights...
I'd guessed they'd put on 200 in the first couple of sessions. Then have us 8 down under lights.
 
Why is Smith running around like he’s got a recorder in his pants? If the bloke’s injured he should be out of the side.
