Im not too down about it. They stuffed us in this one, we stuffed them in the first

The team that won on each occasion played well but was helped hugely by winning the toss. The psychological impact of the toss must be huge when you know the pitch is going to deteriorate and is already spinning.

Foakes and Stone are positives. There were glimpses of Mo getting some confidence and rhythm back.

Bairstow and Crawley to come back in along with Jimmy and a day night test where it may swing.

        I'd try that young Surrey spinner to be honest. Virdi? He looks good (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 16, 09:50:10

        He does,Bess bats though and has already taken wickets ,it was harsh (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Feb 16, 09:56:11
        
        True but i'm just not convinced by Bess. Too many bad balls. he does get wickets though (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 16, 10:02:11
        
        Interesting (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 16, 09:01:51
      - Bairstow comes in at 3 for sure. (NCFC) - stanleh, Feb 16, 08:41:49
      - Picking another bowler unbalances the side a little (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 16, 08:26:33
        
        Bairstow will play I think, at 3 (NCFC) - Jim, Feb 16, 08:31:05
        
        Yep - forgot about JB. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Feb 16, 08:44:43
