Yes, both opening batsmen out for a duck. Where is Boycott nowadays, couldn't he at least give them some coaching on how to stay in ?!
It was the last day when they blew it, even Michael Vaughan couldn't understand the field setting or bowling strategy by England !
Why do they bowl so many short length balls and not at the wickets.
I have a new strategy for England - set an orthodox field and bowl good length balls at the wickets. If the batsman misses the ball they are bowled, or if it hits their pads they are out lbw. If they mistime the shot they might be caught out .
Any England batsman playing a reverse sweep shot should risk being dropped for the next match.
