Time for everyone involved with the KP storm to be sacked and rebuild completely. As it stands, honestly cannot see England winning the Ashes series this Summer.
... only worse!

This is not exactly a surprise, the whole setup has been a shambles for ages and to that extent a major failure like this might be a good thing. This ought to result in wholesale changes to management and strategy but I can't help thinking it'll be yet more arranging of the deckchairs on a sinking ship. Seriously, how appallingly inept does it have to get before serious heads roll at the ECB?
