We rightly talk a lot about Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes when considering the transformation of this England side.
But one man who should be talked about more is the man who appointed them, Rob Key.

Bazbollocks has moved from batting to bowling. Absurd selection. Unbalanced. Inexperienced. At least England picked a wicketkeeper.

I’m a very big advocate of BazBall, it’s made watching England play Test cricket enjoyable again after a long period of it being unwatchable for long periods.
This however, is stupid. Pack it in against the short ball, wear Australia down, then counter punch.

England look like a side out of form, out of rhythm. That’s what happens when you neglect a format for 4 years. Just backing your ability isn’t enough anymore, international cricket is too testing, you can’t be “figuring things out” mid World Cup. Underprepared and complacent

Zak Crawley HAS to be dropped. His selection cannot be justified. If he stays I want to see Rob Key publicly justify his selection and give one valid reason why he should be selected. Compton and Burns seem like much better options.

England Cricket need a proper shake up. Get rid of all the old coaches - including Collingwood. Get rid of Root as captain - who replaces him is not his problem. Most importantly, get rid of Tom Harrison and the ECB board - they got England into this mess.

When does the IPL become too much? 8 weeks is a long long time. Will fans lose interest? 3 minutes for a “strategic timeout”. Sad to say it is all too based on advertisement and money. Will this edition really be a success?.

Good on Harmanpreet Kaur for offering an explanation for that ending. “It shows our awareness”. Unfortunately there was no awareness about it whatsoever, it was premeditated and the batter was still in the crease when the bowler decided to mankad. That’s not awareness

If Craig Overton gets a game over Stuart Broad then England fans cannot be mad when he hands in his international retirement
Why this is even a debate also astounds me. Broad is miles better with the ball, and Overton only marginally better with the bat
Ridiculous
Hard to be certain, but looks as if final spot in England team will come down to a choice between Broad and Overton. They seem keen to play spinner - which could change, I guess - and might be a bit worried about tail. So Overton probably more likely. Pope at 3, Bairstow at 5.
