Leach putting Ireland's bowling attack into perspective here, barely good enough to be a county attack never mind a test attack... What does that make England’s batting?

Some of them are barely village, and outside of the white ball stuff have been for too long. If attitude and application isn't changed then we're going to get stuffed by the aussies

I half think that they need to do an England's Women and scrap most of the side, including the theoretical best batsman, and start almost afresh.
Sibley Crawley/Robson Northeast Pope Buttler (c) Stokes (vc) Foakes (wk)
Woakes Gregory Curran Leach Archer/Stone
That's bloody harsh on our actual best batsman though.

I thought about him, and I'm still thinking about him, but I don't think I'd want to chuck him into the Ashes.

I'd be loathe for Yorks to lose him, and don't think he's what England need as his perfect position for England would prob be 5 or 6, like the rest of English batsmen, he'd not be the answer at 1, 2 or 3.

Not worthy of a separate thread, but sad to see Amir retire from test cricket, a genuinely superb bowler who on his day can run through any batting line up. Test cricket needs strong teams outside of the big 3 or it'll die

We'll see the Fizz opting out soon enough, I'm pretty sure.

England will learn nothing from this. Nothing. Looking forward to Anderson Broad Woakes and Stokes playing in the first Ashes match.

One criticism.....we know a lot about Woakes and Broad, how about chucking the debutant the fucking ball in these conditions with Ireland on their arse?
