We're so bad at all forms of the game at the moment. Absolutely diabolical, to be honest Giles should be told that his services aren't required now.

That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater, he has only been there 5 minutes.

We have a major rebuilding job, it is not going to happen over night.

I'd say as head coach he has a massive hand in the plans in place. Regardless whether you blame him or not, the England team under his charge has done nothing to suggest he's the man for the job.

Not necassarily, I'm not sure what Giles has done to suggest he should get the job.

There's no way in a million years that Giles should be considered for the Test job.

I don't think we can afford to just let Malinga bowl.

If we were chasing anything sensible this would have been a reasonable recovery, but sadly there's too much to do.

In all fairness the way we fielded, you can't expect to win.
