Once again we're folding like a deck of cards, terrible terrible batting.

Jade dernbach is a laughable selection. Does he have naked pics of Giles or something, the guy is a shit bowler and I'm sure I read the most expensive in t20 cricket.

I'm not old enough to remember a tour this shambolic.  In fact, has there ever been a tour this shambolic?

Even when the Aussies had a genuinely tremendous team and our players were distinctly average we never took this sort of pasting.

Jade dernbach is a laughable selection.

I saw his pathetic behaviour at the conclusion of the previous quick cricket match. He's a fucking joke, looked like he was playing the hard man which was laughable when you look at how he has bowled, I hope the Aussies gave him it back twice as much.

This tour is by far and away the worst in English cricket history. It's been an utter shambles from start to finish and over the whole tour I can only think of five players who come out with credit. They are Stokes, Broad, Morgan, Buttler and Jordan.

Also I don't see how Giles can be in the frame, firstly he's within the system and we need a change. Secondly he hasn't been able to get anything out of the short format of the tour. We've lost 7 out of 8 and most of those heavily, so he shouldn't be rewarded for that.

Somewhat unfair....he hasn't had the players of his choice available to him has he.

No different from Australia, they took a load of players out for their upcoming Test series. Whatever the resources available we have been pitiful in all formats this tour, and if the team manager goes you can't replace from within after that.

Despite being a bear I view Giles as being another company man, a dull status quo, unimaginative, don't rock the boat selection. So it will most likely be him.

I agree, ash has been great for warwickshire but he is not the right man for the big job that awaits the next England coach - i really hope he doesn't get the nod.
