I've only just about recovered from that laughing stock of a series. Nobody in the England camp other than Root and Archer can hold their heads up after such a showing, but one great batsman and one good but injury-prone bowler won't cut it, I'm afraid. The side has enough technique but nowhere near the temperament to play a test series against a top opponent. Far too much white ball nonsense.

Even a test that finishes in two days can be thrilling and good sport but only if it has been won by quality bowling and not lost by laughable batting.

The only thing worse than the performance of the England team was that of Snicko. It was better than nothing when it came in but this series has shown just how flawed it can be, particularly with poor (or no?) calibration. Let's hope for Ultraedge instead in future.
