The pundits are talking like we'll be the best side in the world if we go back to the old style. Which is ridiculous.

In the last game we were just two wickets away from beating the best Test team in the world.

I hope they don't listen to a word the 'experts' say and stick to the new aggressive style.

Bloody Mark Butcher as well. Was he part of even a single winning Ashes series?

Dropped catches cost us that test not a declaration along with Ali not having the ability to bowl and maybe a lack of pace. Fuck all to do with “Bazball”

The Ashes: England must prioritise winning, not just the spectacle after first Test defeat, says Mark Butcher

A thrilling Ashes opener ended with Australia pipping England by two wickets at Edgbaston to take a 1-0 series lead to Lords; watch the second Ashes Test, live on Sky Sports Cricket from Wednesday

Brilliant article from mark butcher and perfectly sums up how I’m feeling

For me Mark Butcher is one of the best commentators, analysts and presenters. Should be on screen more often

We will go back to be boring kunts like the Aussies and the rest when Stokes McCullum either retire or sacked!

Nope they will replace Pep

I like him as an analyst but not so much as a commentator.

Bairstows performance behind the stumps was the rwason we lost.

Stuart Broad is apparently very proud of losing, so I've just read :)

We've lost our last 2 tests (don't count the Ireland test) because we want to entertain.
It's fine at the moment BUT there will be questions if we keep losing.
There has to be some plan not to lose tests and 'go again' mentality.
