I'd love Buttler to succeed - I think he would have done in the Strauss/Cook/Trott etc. era when he could have been coming in with the score 250/300 for 5 and could play his natural aggressive game. Sadly that has never transpired as the top 5 as a unit have constantly failed to deliver. As things stand, I'd think Foakes should be playing.

If Buttler/Bairstow and Stokes want to succeed at test level, then I think they need to sacrifice the IPL money and play some red ball county cricket. The test arena isn't the place to learn on the job.

It’s not for them to sacrifice, it’s for them to be enticed by the ECB. If they don’t want to play, no problem, it’s not as if we’re great with them in the side.

Smart thing for Root would be to step down as captain after the series and just think about breaking batting records. He is playing well (not great) and can continue to score runs without the captaincy monkey.

'Silverwood to miss fourth Ashes Test after being forced to isolate'

Can you imagine if we actually manage to win the next test.

The irony of it  :) . His fate may already be made up.
Kirsten touted in the papers as being in line. Apart from the advantage of coaching other teams and having a decent test record I believe he is primarily a batting coach and boy do we need some help.

I don't think that the performance this winter can be at all attributed to the ECB not paying sufficient attention to the preparation for this tour.  The national set up is as well-resourced as it has ever been.  The question is the contribution made by those who have been appointed to key roles.  Silverwood cannot survive what has been an abject failure of his management but Giles should also follow him

I understand that Gary Kirsten comes with a huge reputation but is his coaching ability ‘over hyped’?
Granted he lead the Indians to a World Cup and took both India & South Africa to top ranking in test cricket.
But working with Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dravid, Kallis, Steyn etc is a damn sight easier than what England are currently producing.
Kirsten might be a legendary coach or he might be a Guardiola that looks good when he’s got a bunch of legends in his corner.
Just my observation.

Not sure Guardiola is the comparison you want given his record of developing talented players into world class performers.

They are going to need somehow to get some Championship games in July and August but that’s easier said than done given the money involved for the hundred and 2020.

But we do need a world class coach. The batting has been a huge issue going back years not just this tour.

It was Fletcher that improved us batting wise a few years ago we need something similar.

The ECB have treated the test side as second best since our exit from the 2015 tournament, somehow it has to be balanced back

Hmmm - Kirsten and some of his trusted lieutenants vs the current Gerry Cottle set-up?

According to an interview on cricinfo Kirsten was interviewed last time round but made in clear it was one format or another not both

He is saying the same thing this time round- it needs different coaches.

Wise man - someone needs to clean up the mess Bayliss / Giles / Harrison left behind

Travis Head has tested positive for covid19. Mitch Marsh, Nic Maddison and Josh Inglis added to the squad. Wouldn’t be surprised if the remaining matches are binned off.

Looks like the Aussies are scared of a comeback to 3 - 2 after looking like a whitewash. Typical!
