Picking the right wicket-keeper would be a good start. Bairstow's only keeping because they're scared he'll have a massive hissy fit if he doesn't.

Yeah, I was saying stop fucking whining.
It's the Ashes, Australia are going to win a session or two.
Or a test or 5.

Who are you dropping for Foakes?
You're not going into a test match without a spinner, so it's not Ali.
Bairstow was the best batsman in the world last summer, so it's not him.
Stokes is the captain, so not him.
Woakes has to be there because Stokes can't bowl.
We got Warner, Khawaja, Smith and Labushagne out for 60 runs combined and people are still bitching.
Yeah Mitch Marsh might hit a few before he goes, but anything he can do Woakes, Stokes, Ali & Bairstow can do too.
Ali has averaged 16 since 2018. He shouldn't be in the team as he's effectively just made the tail longer and isn't a good enough spinner.
Marsh has been utterly destructive and really making that Root drop look terrible

13 dropped catches for England in the series and 118 extras have done for EnglandWell Root you’d better score a double fucking hundred for that awful drop on Marsh as it looks like you’ve fucked us here
Crawley would seem the obvious candidate to me personally. Move bairstow to opener.Who are you dropping for Foakes?
There's no one else?
yes there is Rehan Ahmed
what harm would have it been playing the young lad instead of fucking Moeen Ail and his lolly pops

Ben Foakes should be in, it's ridiculous that he isn't.Picking the right wicket-keeper would be a good start. Bairstow's only keeping because they're scared he'll have a massive hissy fit if he doesn't.

What's frustrating the England fans so much isn't losing - people can live with that, albeit it's of course disappointing. But seeing a team packed with so much ability being undone by failing at the basics is just exasperating and feels so avoidable.
Pretty much sums it up for me.
