It was always a big ask, but I don't mind losing when we score over 200 runs. I've not seen the game but it does sound like we had a decent whack, even if we let them score more runs than we should have done.
We were well beaten (though I'm sure some in the hallway of power will try to note we dominated ). I was listening to some commentary and the bowling seems to have been....sub-optimal.English cricket really is looking in a shoddy state.

No Wood, Archer, Buttler, Bairstow, Malan who would generally be in the starting XI and no Stokes (doesn't get into my best XI anyway), the Currans, Woakes, Jordan, Mills who would all be in the discussion for best XI, and a focus on player development for this series. The white ball team is in fine shape, it's just red ball in the gutter.English cricket really is looking in a shoddy state.
Two in two in twenty twenty two.. montange of 12th man to waste the afternoon.

Glad Giles has gone….listened to him being interviewed on TMS, came across as being very political and didn’t want to own the problem. He made Silverwood the sole supremo of managemenf and selection of Test, ODI and T20 cricket. How is one man supposed to mange those three teams and still spend enough time on monitoring and selecting players ?!?! Obv Silverwood could delegate watching players in County Champ but an impossible job.
Strauss has got a busy few weeks ! Saw Alec Stewart mentioned as possibly taking charge for the Windies test series.

I don't know what was wrong with the way it was before with selectors. Seemed to be doing ok until Giles decided it wasn't how he wanted to proceed.
They had Ed Smith as head selector who apparently was good at spotting talent, but couldn't manager relationships with the players. Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
