its a simple fix for me and it starts at the ECB get rid of the old farts and bring in people who have played test cricket in the last 30 years or less then build a team that can play on anything home or away. even if means losing for the next 2 years we must build a new squad of players for the next ashes i can not see what england are doing with the old guard still playing cook anderson broad are finished at test cricket and have been for a couple of years

and am still shaking my head at why england did not have no full time spin bowler in place before the last ashes ??? and yes dom bess is a step in the right way but his he the right man going forward did not turn it much in the first test and the leg spinner from Pakistan spinner did so maybe a leggy is needed by england
 
Stokes should be the captain, he is the only other player other than root who is a guaranteed starter, accomplished player and have a future. His aggressive approach would be useful. Root should come at 4 and time to start looking past Anderson and broad

Other than the fact that he'll miss the second Test against India because he'll be in Bristol Crown Court as a result of his 'aggressive approach', which if found guilty could see him unavailable for quite some time and perhaps minus any future, then, just maybe, perhaps. ;-)

Stokes is arguably England’s most important player but his off-field antics don’t exactly make him a prime candidate for captain right now. He has a lot of making up to do.

Isn’t Mark Ramprakash one of our batting coaches at the moment? Whilst he was a much better player than his test record suggests, I fear his mental frailties are now being radiated onto our current batsmen.

Yep good shout about Ramprakash seems the whole of the England coaching is don’t upset anyone! The time now is to upset players need a captain in the mould of Nasser Hussain who want ale failure.
 
They should go wild and bring in KP as a batting coach. Even if he's turns out to cause unrest we couldn't get any worse. Shame the relationship is poor
 
Thing about pakistan is we could loose in exactly the same manner in which we won in first test. I hope they dont and we win the series.

I sincerely hope england get their act together for indian series
