Think the pitch may have helped a bit though unfortunately. Interesting to see how competitive that score is.real shame we haven't bowled this well until it's too late.

Jason Roy has taken a dogs abuse in this thread. But park that aside, he missed all four warm up games with New Zealand with a back problem so his fitness is probably what counted against him. We were all gagging for Harry Brook and I think players like Duckett and Salt were a bit unlucky (and possibly the future now), but then again who do you leave out, a case can be made for all of them.the players like ducket, roy etc, must be wondering wtf tbh, this is brainless..again
My guess is nothing! Just lots of platitudes and apologies and holding up of hands! Players have already been rewarded with new central contracts so not like any (maybe Malan and Ali) will retire.Jason Roy has taken a dogs abuse in this thread.

I doubt anyone knows what's gone so comprehensively wrong here, it's a fall from grace that absolutely nobody saw coming and it's been spectacular in it's scope.
It'll be interesting what Rob Key and the ECB do about all of this.
Just looking at the results and it’s not like we’ve even been anywhere close in any of them, we have been completely annihilated.
Yes our bowling has been total village but today they gave the batsmen a really good chance and yet again they failed to deliver.
Look at these scores:
India 129ao (99-9!)
SL 156ao
SA 170ao
Afghan 215ao
If you don’t score runs you don’t win games, that is our biggest problem.
