Yes, well in England we have the private school system. There is a reason there are so few British-Asian cricketers in the First Class set up, despite so many playing high level club cricket.

Genuinely I think England fans should just sit tight, wait and see what happens. If England make changes, they make changes. If they win, they win. if they lose, they lose. Have a post-mortem after. Nobody benefits from having this additional pressure and expectation piled on

It's too much. The constant speculation about who might play and who might bat where, in a series we are heavily losing and on a tour, we have not won a game on for *15 years*. It's like discussing which way to row against the tide of a tsunami.. pointless, and you expend more energy
