Whether we were under-par or Morecambe made us under-par with their work rate and strategy is irrelevant in term of points, but relevant in terms of game assessment.
Their keeper had a blinder, Hendo header first half, 2 pens, Smith shot, Waller header and that was the only difference in the end, the chances we created to day were good shots/chances - theirs perhaps not so.
Gutsy wins should be lauded as much as dominant wins and that is what we got today.
Brook could have 20 warm up matches and he would still not be able to sort his head out.
It’s almost as though he chooses the perfect moment to give his wicket away in an embarrassing fashion to the advantage of the opposition.
This was the same in the India series that we managed not to win.
What happens result-wise is irrelevant now, ashes gone, really not bothered if we get whitewashed.
Duckett has to be dropped. Cannot bat on these wickets Pope has to be dropped. Cannot bat on these wickets and doesn’t appear to be able to control attacking urge (aka Harry Brook mentality)
Supporters will defend Brook saying he is so good that he should be free to play how he likes (see Kevin Pietersen career) Difference was, when it came down to it, KP knew when to knuckle down.
Ahmed in for Duckett Bethell (longer term view) for Pope
Anything other than a full replay would have rabies like frothing from Yorkshire and Cumbria Anything negative eg points awarded to Southend would lead to riots in the streets of Rochdale and Harlepool/Woking.
