Please no knee-jerk reactions of how bad Australia must have been, or how we should bin all the batsmen and bring in some county standard no-hopers.
However, simple facts that need to be acted on....
1. KP is world-class, probably our only true world-class batsman....However, he is both out of form and confidence - He needs the proverbial kick up the backside. However, to drop him is a silly idea. Would be akin to the Aussies dropping Ponting or Hussey.
2. Ian Bell is a good bat....However, he has no steel - He's another Graeme Hick, looks fine when the team's on top, looks an absolute bottler when he needs to knuckle down.....I wouldn't drop him, but would definitely get him a shrink to sort his head and heart out.
3. Eoin Morgan has to be dropped....He is not a Test player, never will be....I said it in summer, he's another Neil Fairbrother....Fine one-day player, but never suited to the rigours of 5 day cricket.
England can come back in this series, but they need to knuckle down and not think that all teams are going to be like the spineless Indian side they demolished in the summer.
