The standard meltdown and introspection over another dreadful Ashes

I get the criticism but the constant demands for Bazball to be binned are puzzling.

We all know it needs to move to a new phase where the guys are better able to exercise judgement and adjust to situations. But Bazball has given us some of the best test cricket we've seen in 15 years and arguably the most exciting we've ever seen.

It has come horribly unstuck in Australia but so has every other England side for 40 years, bar one. What I've seen in these matches is a side who have complete mastery of these conditions and a side who haven't really got a clue about them. On top of that we just haven't performed well. Most of the batsmen have been well below their best and the fielding has been poor.

I think better judgement in the batting and some more precise plans for the bowling should be the priority. But playing in Australia isnt the yardstick for success. We just cannot do it...
