Not at all. All quite clearly documented not just this Tour selection but over the last few years. Most of us have been quite clear about the stupidity of many of the selections, the way the team has been run and managed.
That was a great cricket match. No quarter asked or given The players did their bit honestly and to the best of most of their abilities. It is not their fault they are not great Test Cricketers. All they can do is their best. At least they didn't cheat and break down in tears after being caught and lying about it! |

I do think Bayliss, Farbrace, Ramps, Uncle Tom Cobley an all are getting away with crimes against cricket.
Even Sir Bob wouldn't stick his size 14s in. Soft. What have they done to the batsmen who all (bar Stokes) think it's wise to play from their stance? The Aussie batsmen are the same. It's shocking. These 'coaches' do my nut. They offer nothing. Get back to basics. Here's a thought...DON'T play every shot on the walk. DON'T copy Smith. He's a freak. Stay blanced, go right forward, right back and if you overbalance go and play club cricket on soft pitches until you learn basic technique. |

I like WD and Inj’s posts above. England test selection has been pretty rum for a while. WTF is Vince doing near the side, let alone in it. That he’s probably got the eye to play tests just isn’t good enough, he needs to use that talent by changing his game to a less flashy and risky one. There’s only so much the coaches can do with a fairly mediocre talent pool though.
