Really exciting thing is we now don’t have a test match until July. We play two very poor sides in West Indies and sri lanka at home. No doubt we will batter these sides and all will be well again only to then get pummelled by Australia in 18 months.

Honeymoon period over

Completely agree but still can’t wait for 2 days at the real Old Trafford in August

Shirley, the question has to be; how did we manage to win that first test in Hyderabad? It was clearly an anomaly.

We won it because one of our batters made an innings that put us in position to bowl at something to win the test match all the other test matches we didn't and it's all down to our batters! I bet Crawley thinks he did great but I'll put most the blame on him! Just because he got over fifty the most and never ever went on to put us in a commanding lead!

Much the same as in 2020-2021. Root scored 218 in Chennai and gave England the platform to win.

Bazball is just hype, a meaningless word to paper over fundamental failings. England embarrassingly recalled Moeen Ali in the summer to save their spin blushes and, having learned nothing from their last tour of India, arrived with untested youngsters and batsmen who simply don't have consistent staying power. I'm off to invest in some tulip bulbs; they're due a resurgence I hear..
