Finally a bit of honesty from the England management!

This is what we need, you can only improve when you admit areas to improve in. Tom Harrison says everything is fine because our one day cricket has improved and the England side makes money.

Us fans who follow thou want the team to improve in tests

Please someone correct me if I'm wrong....test cricket still matters, in fact it's the most important format

Frustrating this tour, very frustrating to watch

Davies opens the batting for lancs so could slot in at 3 for England

He could? Bit of an ask!

He's a better bat than Vince and a better keeper than Bairstow?

What will be interesting to see will be what happens if we get turned over in the ODI's and T20i's

What do they do then!

Blame it all on lack of warm up matches like they normally do??

Time someone’s head rolled? Be that the selectors or the coach. Far too many failures away from home

I will say it’s not the coaches fault or just the administrators. They are the products of their environment. Sure they ‘could’ make all the changes necessary but it would take 10years at least and we’d lose loads before so people would give up on them by then.

To get up the ladder you need to play a system, that usually means you become part of the problem. Why would anyone who has seen themselves be ‘successful’ risk upsetting the Apple cart ?

County coaches are told to coach for white ball so that’s what they do. Glos for example actively coach jack Taylor type bowling.. aka chucking.. why.. who knows.. should they?? No but they do

Maybe we could start with a blanket ban on the use of the term "white ball cricket"?

Aaaargh!

Is there any point in taking Vince (and to a degree Moeen) to New Zealand?

What would we learn, what would we gain?

Joe Root has been hospitalised by severe dehydration.
Wishing him a speedy recovery. If he makes the field today or not it puts things into perspective - cricket is just a game!

Hopefully Root does not try to bat today and gets some rest and medical attention.

Any Brits not been to Oz....I was there for the 94-95 ashes (and passed out in a bar in Melbourne!) the heat is like no where else I've been..

Just read an estimated real temperature was 57 yesterday. Jesus !
