Broad has apologised, but if he was ill he has nothing to apologise for

Don't think there is any doubt amounst fans we don't have an organisation running the game that inspires any confidence.

I suspect Strauss and Harrison will be charged with sorting out the mess and Graves will take a back seat.

He should certainly be kept away from any reporters or microphones

By 'ill' you mean drunk right?? Stokes/Coles were sent home from a tour for such behaviour

nz look a shambles btw, if England do go on to lose it'll be against a half baked side whose best players have come Straight from slap and tickle...

exactly, if he was ill he has nothing to apologise for, if he was hammered then he has. I do agree there is a double standard in the England side,there's clearly a group favoured and they have a strong influence.

Without digging up the past again on these boards if you look at the KP genius twitter account that's something that should of been stopped-if you are putting emphasis on 'team ethics' that should of been stamped out

I think Broad is just about the most unpopular England player currently, Anderson is more in the background but surely has an influence on what goes on.

Quite how England tackle these problems, if at all, is the challenge for a new coach.

for 'good mates that get on well' you could read 'clique'. most teams have them, dunno about your club side but my club side has.

If he was ill and supposed to be resting, what on earth was he doing out late drinking?

So when is the investigation results due from the WI tour? Who is leading it? So far they've just allowed Trott to retire but it's the same team...... Hardly inspiring trust in graves words

err, the coach has gone too???

That is quite a big step and there'll be little change on personnel until the new one is in place.
