The selection is jumbled and inconsistent, that has to come from the three man selection panel of Key, McCullum and Stokes.

Now I want to avoid another review of English cricket which seems to happen after every Ashes defeat, these reviews get us nowhere. However something needs to change, there’s an arrogance around our test side that is not acceptable. I think this arrogance comes from a group of 8 or 9 players who know that they are guaranteed picks. The trouble is some of them are just not good enough at the highest level.

There also shouldn’t be a complete disconnect between county cricket and the Test team.
