I’m not sure really. He may well do. People have been fairly critical of the cricket we’ve played under him.

Exhilarating on a good day and very average for the most part. The later feels like the norm.

That's fair. I think it's more away from home though to be fair. At home we drew with both India and Australia and both series it's fair to say should have won both. So it's fine lines really, we need a bit more consistency but for whatever reason it just hasn't happened. And just like us away to the Goons, it's the same for England away to Australia - just business as usual regardless of management....

That’s it. At home no problem we will win tests. Away not so much. Australia is just so bad for us.

it’s called bazball and they are a fit for that style of play and hard to argue it has not injected some life into test cricket which internationally is ailing.

So whilst it is pretty ugly at times but it has given us some excellent test matches. We just don’t have the strength to beat the aussies at home, rarely do.

I am not saying it can't improve but form one win in 14 tests to a record which is now 9 test series wins, 2 losses (soon to be 3) and 2 draws, including two spectacular away wins in that time, its not as bad as people make out. Yes its been grim this series but the idea its been all along is a lie. Also people weaponise the Bazball term like it means anything, when BM hates it himself.........
