I was screaming at the television at 2.45pm yesterday.

It was the same scenario in the Adams household last Saturday when we settled down to watch England in their opening game at Euro 2016.

Now I’m no expert when it comes to football but what I do know is that in any sport you’ve got to go with the guy in form.

So when Roy Hodgson left Jamie Vardy kicking his heels on the bench against Russia and then waited until half-time to bring him on against Wales yesterday I was pulling my hair out in frustration.

This is the same Jamie Vardy who has just had a truly incredible season for Leicester City, stealing headline after headline by doing the most important job of all - putting the ball in the back of the net.

To say he is on a hot streak is an understatement so I just cannot understand why he has not been in Hodgson’s starting XI all along.

The argument that he doesn’t fit into the system Hodgson wants to play is ludicrous. In cricketing terms it’s like having a batsman smashing century after century in the County Championship and not getting a look-in for the England Test team.

Thankfully Hodgson saw the light at half-time against Wales yesterday by bring Vardy on and – surprise, surprise – he scored with his third touch!

Don’t get me wrong, I like Roy. I even spent a very pleasant afternoon with him during a Test match at the Oval a few years ago chatting about cricket, football and plenty of other things.

I’ve met him a few other times too and he is such an approachable guy – but you’ve got to question some of his decisions so far out in France.

Taking off Rooney and bringing on Jack Wilshere the moment we went ahead against Russia was another move which had me scratching my head. Rooney was running the game and if he had stayed on we could have killed off the game so it struck me as a very negative move.

And that moves me on nicely to the subject of Sussex and their continuing struggles in 50-over cricket.

In that format of the game you have to be positive in everything you do so I was delighted to see skipper Luke Wright move to the top of the order against Middlesex on Sunday.

Although Wright didn’t make many runs (15) it sent out the right message and Sussex went on to record their first win in the competition for nearly two years.

Why then did he drop back down the order two days later as Sussex lost to Surrey at Guildford?

At the risk of sounding like a broken record surely it makes sense to put your best batsman at the top of the order and make a clear statement of intent that you mean business.

With three defeats in four games so far it is going to be tough for Sussex to qualify from their group so I’d urge Luke and coach Mark Davis to be bold when the competition resumes next month. And if they grasp the nettle now like Roy belatedly did in Lens yesterday it might not be too late.
