Good post Matt, the team appears to be a mates club, if you get my drift.

The Telegraph this morning

Sir Geoffrey

I cannot take this stupid team seriously anymore

Oliver Brown, Chief Sports writer

Vacuum of leadership coupled with empty headed shot making laid platform for one of the most bleakest most bruising defeats in Australia

Diabolical batting an affront to Test cricket and loyal supporters

This is the most relevant quote

Fiasco threatened to produce a mutiny from those who have cashed in life savings and pensions to watch England


Meanwhile South Africa 431-8 in 138 overs, batting for that length of time is never going to catch on.


Finally it will be the County Championship to blame, suggestions to reduce number of games also all games now to be 2 day affairs.


Strange isn't really some of these half wits rarely play in proper cricket, in a way the reduction of the Championship to an after thought is too blame, we have pushed it to each end of the season to play a surfeit of meaningless one day sh@@e
