Ramprakash has just been sacked as our batting coach hasn’t he? And Hick is an Australia coach.

Didnt I read that Thorpe is now the batting coach, which doesnt do his CV much good. I read that Jonathan Trott is doing his badges and said some encouraging things about the approach to building an innings as opposed to 20/20 so perhaps he will be considered for the post.

I think if we don't get Warner early he could make a big one here.

We got him early...

But I still don't get it. It doesn't seem to be that close to the bat. Yet the spike was large.

Warner Hes one of the few positives to come out of this series, seeing his smug face walking off for next nothing every match is a small mercy.

Makes you wonder whether it is genuinely very difficult to take ODI form into tests.

Warner and Sharma were out there on their own getting 640+ runs in the world cup. Root and Bairstow were both in the top 6 run scorers, Roy and Stokes in the top 10.

Meanwhile, Steve Smith had a fairly average tournament only scoring a couple more than Morgan but 260 less than Warner got.

Take these and other stats into the test matches, and what a turn around. Roy and Warner cannot get a score for love nor money, Smith cannot stop scoring. Root unable to build on starts, and Bairstow looking like he's brain is just completely scrambled.

If it was just a couple of players in 1 team suffering, but both?

These two will make the England score themselves.

Archer seeming to be a lot happier with the sun out and getting up toward 20 deg in London. Grim up Norf, forget pitches and conditions when selecting Archer, maybe it's just whether it's warm enough!?

Smith-Labuschagne partnership is not the one England want to see out there, they seem to feed off each other

Well, if that's the case then we can look forward to a sub continent tour for once.

That must be frowned upon.

Agreed that Marnus was out and not appealed but serious doubts about the accuracy of Ultra Edge now.

Curran is the only bowler who I think could get Smith out in front.

Why should there be doubts? Warner knew he’d hit it for his dismissal, look at the guys face he was guilty as sin and walked off with no argument. One thing there can be no doubts about is the Australians lack of integrity to walk.

A later appeal against Labuschagne showed the noise came from the bat hitting the ground. Fine. But it also showed a thick spike just previous with the bat raised, not near pad, and the ball just pitching. No-one could work out why it was there.

Warner has kept his cheeky chappy look on throughout the series regardless.

I don't think that was out. The spike came after the bat. There was a clear gap.
