At last! This happens every time there’s a defeat in any sport in the off topic section.
The WC killed England. The best player any of us have seen in our lifetime killed us. The best bowler in the world killed us. One session of dropped catches and a no ball killed us.
Dropping 5 players, changing captains and coach will only make things worse. The coach has gone so there’s gonna be some natural changes anyway. People questioning the likes of Bairstow and Buttler are mad, just like the Moeen doubters. These are the best in the country and they’ll prove it over time.
What some of our players need more than anything is a good rest, but of course we have a mental winter coming up with the NZ tour starting a month after the ashes!
Some of the other players need a bit more red ball practice but it’s impossible with a schedule like we have.
