Broad gone, game over.

This is fucking embarrassing and our batsmen should be fucking ashamed, again.

This is simply f*cking unbelievable.

Prior gone. I am absolutely seething at this display, we have been disgracefully under prepared for this tour. Our batsmen's inability to play spin is embarrassing. The batting on this tour has been disgusting.

Thing is I'm not one for wholesale changes, but Morgan and KP in particular have been absolutely shocking this tour. Morgan has to go, and KP maybe needs to be dropped to show he's not a shoe in for the side.

Agree Paul, we haven't suddenly become a bad team and there's a danger of throwing the baby out with the bathwater but things need freshening up and those pair are the most obviously at risk.

Abysmal batting again from a team that collectively looks like they've not picked up a bat in 5 months.  Pakistan are a decent side but 72 all out is an appalling effort.

Hope Strauss tells it like it is (like Micheal Clarke did in SA) and doesn't go into PR mode.

I hate to say this, but the Aussies (whose media are already counting down to next years Ashes) would piss all over us right now.

Morgan needs to go as soon as this tour is over, he just aint good enough.

[PaulWinch again]

Also do we not bother to try and practice and improve our technique against spin. It's fucking appalling.

It will be interesting to see what excuses Flower/Strauss come up with this time

[OzVilla]

Morgan can go because he's never really scored runs and never looks like he will.

You can only drop KP if there is someone better knocking down the door.  KP is a class batsman when on song, he scores quickly and opposition teams fear him.  He stays for now.

I think our lack of preparation for this tour is absolutely dreadful. We're supposed to be the number 1 side in the World and we have completely taken our eye off the ball.

He cant play spin though mate...........

I'm also not sure Australia would beat us at all, on a fast bowlers wicket I fancy us. However this as I've set before has been an utter disgrace and our arrogance has done for us.

I agree there top 3 is very poor we would still beat them

This series better be treated to a massive wake up call and we need a plan to play on the sub continent style pitches.
