Colly for the chop?
England’s pathetic batting display at Edgbaston yesterday in the third Test against South Africa showed they are a team with such low morale that major changes are needed. A team can just about accommodate one batsman struggling for form, but not two, and it was no surprise to see Paul Collingwood struggling so painfully. He has been in dreadful form all summer and this laboured innings of 45 minutes for just four runs betrayed his lack of confidence.
Collingwood’s torment was on show for all to see. He faced 22 balls, and made one scoring stroke - he will have to produce something really special in the second innings to avoid being dropped for the final Test at The Oval.
