Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Another limp crash out of a major tournament by an England team.

New captain and coach time?

Not really.

And it looks like he's made the situation worse.

I think the test side might well need a new coach anyway....

The side is really lacking decent all rounders. Livingstone is ok but really need someone who you would expect to bowl 10 overs and bat top 6

Well there aren't many of those in England full stop at the moment.

I got back to my earlier refrain though that the balance of the attack is all wrong. It's basically 4 right arm fast/fast medium bowlers plus Rashid and then bits and pieces from Livingstone and root.

Noone else bowls in the team.

That means if there is an issue like to mark wood today, they're screwed

And 4 seamers and one front line spinner looks like a very 1990s style attack.

I still don't get why Rehan Ahmed didn't play a game in India....

Plus the batting has all the stability of a glass vase falling off a 3 story building.

Obviously the impact he's had is up for debate but how is he not really new?

Bring back Morgan, lol.
