Seems like a no brainer with splitting the coaching roles, over the last two years it's been like that at times anyway. No reason why someone like Collingwood couldn't take on the limited overs job, at this point it's just an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it approach'

But then again, two years on the trot of ICC tournaments, I wonder where the ECB priorities will truly lie...

Kirsten Doesn't mess about,does he?getting in there early declaring an interest and setting his non-negotiables. The jobs not even available yet!

I have heard good things about Graham Ford- Kirsten looks pretty intense,but he's a proven winner I guess.

Looks like Hameed has switched to DSC - https://twitter.com/beastieboy07/status/1477850030153240576

As we all know too well, a new bat fixes all technical issues and is the key to scoring runs

Be nice if some of these pro players showed some loyalty to the brands, I guess we don’t know who terminated the deals thou it could be either way.

Can’t help thinking if both our openers used UK brands or what have been traditionally UK brands their sales would go up

Crawley will have to open now just so GN have a sponsored player at the top of the England order. Can’t temper the last time at least one of our openers wasn’t using GN.

This would be a good question in a game of CBF Trivia

It is a good trivia question. In tests I don’t remember Vaughan opening, think he was a 3.

Vaughan opened the batting more often than batting in any other postion for England. He opened 72 times, batted at 3 38 times and at 4 30 times.

I can't of a GN absence from the opening pairing since Trescothick and Vaughan

We make 1 change Broad in for Robinson.

Khawaja in for Head the only change for Australia.

It's due to chuck it down so we actually have a chance of a draw.

GN have let a lot of contracts expire as of Jan 1st.

As for sales, putting Root and Stokes aside, I'm not sure many brands would be foolish enough to invest significant cash to sponsor our top order at the moment...

New sponsor - Imodium. Helped England stop getting the runs!

I will get my coat...

For all that England have been god awful in this series, an interesting exercise was proposed by a mate last evening - what would England's best uncapped XI be?  We spent an hour on the phone thrashing out the following (dry January sucks, right?):

Jake Libby
Rob Yates
Josh Bohannon
Liam Livingstone
Harry Brook/Kiran Carlsson
Sam Billings
Jordan Thompson
Matt Fisher
Liam Norwell
Saqib Mahmood
Amar Virdi/Matt Parkinson

If you widened the selection criteria slightly, James Bracey for Brook/Carlsson would give a more balanced top order.

Thoughts?

With absolutely nothing to play for now, I'd bloody love to see this team in the next tests.
