    As I said, bring them home. English cricket is so poor in both genders. Bazball hasn't been a success. We've too many players out of form such as Brook. Root doesn't have a good enough strike rate for ODI Cricket. They are obsessed with fast bowlers all being 90+ MPH when they should be a space for a slightly slower leftie in Sam Curran.

    I've got to the point where I just can't be arsed watching cricket. McCullum, Key and Stokes have completely ruined it. I've no desire to watch a plethora of brain dead talentless players hit and hope.

    Shame as I've always loved cricket, but even the Ashes is becoming a tough watch.

    A couple of specialist spinners wouldn’t go amiss

    There was a 22 year old who only got to bowl in three matches for Sydney Sixers, you might have heard of him Jafer Chohan....If you have an economy rate of less than a run a ball in t20s you're pretty good.

    Overs: 12
    Runs: 70
    Wickets: 3
    Economy: 5.83

    I only had it on for a few minutes, in that time I'm sure I heard the commentator say that during the tour only Root had had a net, golf seems to have been popular between matches. If this is true I hope the traveling supporters are refunded fully and the management and coaches sacked.

    Truth is we are crap against Indian spinners in India.

    I didn’t think there were many golf courses in India but I’m sure they would have found some.
    Root had been playing regular cricket in the SA t20 league so you’d expect him to be one player who wouldn’t need nets.
    Just goes to show how dedicated he is

    Without looking at the history books I have no doubt that you are right but if we
    Just heard Josh Butler denying the accusations made though he didn't sound very convincing, I don't think we've heard the last of it

    Can't see that being true.

    I heard that too and if they are right then it’s not good enough. As the pundits said the only way you learn to play in Indian conditions is to play in then, whether that’s nets or gametime. I understand the golf a lot more with the test team as 5 day games are gruelling and they’re long tours, but a few white ball games is hardly that taxing. McCullum has a big job turning this ship around.
