Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
Gary Ballance is going to get found out so hard this summer, I think he makes it to the 3rd ashes test at best before he's gone.

New Zealand clearly undercooked and ill-prepared. They'd have won it by now if it wasn't for that dastardly IPL.

When bowlers get a crazy pitch to bowl on its dangerous and should never be allowed. When batsmen get a road (which never happens of course) it's for the good of the game.
