3-0 by the end of the day..Ashes over..poorest performance for a long time from our so called senior players...
Poorest performance since we last played away from home and got tanked by India. It's becoming an alarming trend under Bayliss. Once they lose a game they seem unable to find their way back into a series. As for demanding changes in the County Championship, no chance. That might happen when Australia come over to England and beat us 5-0 but as it stands one tour every four years isn't enough for the ECB to move around the two one-day competitions to fit in first-class matches in July and August when the pitches are driest.
Stoneman, Malan and Overton come out with a little bit of credit, as does Anderson who has atleast managed to find a way to take some wickets. Cook, Root and Broad as senior players need to have a series word with themselves - I wouldn't be surprised to see next summer be Cook's last if he doesn't make some runs. Root has to stop getting 50 and out, compare his conversion rate to Steve Smiths - he isn't in the same league.
I'd be starting next summer with something along the lines of:
Stoneman, Cook, Malan, Root, Bairstow, ,Foakes (wk), Curran/Stokes, Overton/Broad, Leach, Porter/Garton, Anderson.
If we're ever going to be successful away from home again we need a proper spin bowler - Leach is currently the best we have and we need to give one of the young quicks a chance I've gone for Porter or Garton, I think Mark Wood is finished at test level.
