Who do you want to fire? The players? The coaches? The administration?

Certainly all the coaches, analysts and ECB administrators.. Players like Broad need to be sent packing, the guy is now a waste of space. Keep the young lads but they need to be hungry.. if they aren't get rid.

Players like Broad... That worked well when they did that to Pietersen. The 'hungry' ones? Well, if they don't listen to the fans, as you said earlier, you will never find any hungry ones. It's not the players fault they have been picked.

The analysts? What get other analysts to replace them? You need analysts to see how things happen.

Administrators, not sure how they affect the game on the day unless they are having an effect on selection?

Coaches and selection 'committee' is where I think where to look. You need a coach that can pick his team, have decent plans (A,B and C). And then he can build his team around the aggressive and accumulating players.

are these teh same analysts who think bowling slower ball bouncers is statistically the best bet??

Administrators affect the game massively fromt eh top to the bottom.. that is the problem!!

At least Broad is being shown to be aweful.. KP was the best batsmen in his last tour!! when injured too

[joeljonno]

But Finn is worse than Broad?  He's got to go first.

Is that the analysts?  Is in not the coaches who tell the bowlers what to do? I do t know, I am genuinely asking. So is it a question of not having analysts at all?

If the team was statistically the best ODI team a couple of years ago, surely the administration cannot be totally flawed?

Managers, coaches, analysts, administrators earn their corn when things are bad... that's when you find out if people are made of the right stuff.  I don't know the answer mate, I'd just rather they sack the lot and start again with a completely clean slate

Gayle fails again, there goes west indies chances

[smilley792]

Had jamshed held on to the Smith chance. Windies would have been in trouble.


Gayle doesn't look anything like the gayle of old. Both in demeanour and batting style.
He seems very wooden.and like he has set plans given.

Block.bloxk block block. Smash. Block. Block.block smash.

[ProCricketer1982]

He looks like a man whose back is completely shot

[ManHOOS]

^^^^^^^^ wait until April,  u will see the gayle storm butchering dindas and kumars of IPL 

[cesare_in]

Butchering was done by Russel. Stand, don't move feet, use muscles, smash..

[The Palmist]

Pakistan were 1 for 4 wickets in overs. Shocking 
Holder  the new captain.
Still a long way  to go for west indies to build any kind of consistency. Gayle should stick to IPL really.

[InternalTraining]

Terrible fielding by Pakistan.

[alee]

Lots of records made by Pakistan though:

Last 5 overs (bowling) = 79 runs

First 5 overs (batting) = 1 run 4 wickets

Younis Khan = 7th Golden Duck in his career

[qasim_aziz99]

I thought ENG were bad but PAK hav takken being sh!t to a whole new level.

[csnew]

A lot has been said about Russell being crap etc.
Think he's done pretty well since bravo's been dropped.

Time for dwayne smith to get the boot. Worst opener to play 100 odi's. Average of under 19
