Personally, to help the England Test team I would: 

  • Play the 50-over stuff throughout April
  • Play County Cricket from the first week of May to the first week of Sept, Mon-Thurs, a total of 18 games in 18 weeks, put it on free-to-air TV and promote it
  • Play T20 Blast on Fridays alongside the County Cricket season, two nine-team North/South divisions (minimum 8 games each) plus knock-out rounds and Finals Day
  • Play The 100 after Finals Day solely in September. 

Anyone available but not playing Tests for England should play for their county, instead of carrying the drinks all summer. 

For the big Test tours, like the Ashes and India, schedule in at least two first-class games as warm-up matches and maybe a third midway through the five-Test series.

Get rid of Root, Silverwood, Bobat, Giles, and Harrison. Reinstate a national selector. Employ a Test coach and a white-ball coach. Two coaches, two different formats.

A video has been leaked showing the police putting an end to a “party” involving some England and Australia players at 6am on Monday. The video only shows a few players from either side having a drink outside but the video was filmed by Graham Thorpe who drunkenly narrates which players are there and said he was videoing it for the lawyers. It’s going to be pretty uncomfortable for him given it has made it to the press. Fitting way to end a shambles of a tour.

Proves precisely that this recent Ashes shambles is nothing new and the knee jerk media reaction from the cricket media putting the blame on England’s county system is utter nonsense.

Historically England have been hammered pretty much everywhere overseas since the game became international.

T20i just starting on BT Sport in case anyone forgot.  

I’d forgotten and got a text to remind me but as I turned on it slipped to 10-3. 
 

It’s obviously gotten more entertaining since. What a shambles. At least it’ll be finished before MOTD
