We overate ourselves, we've become complacent. If attacking doesn't work, we don't have a Plan B. Being called favourites was the worst thing that could of happened. Can't see us beating India, and NZ won't be easy. Then Australia and the Ashes, and they've already beaten us twice this summer; they are a side on the way back up again , bad timing !
Ho hum, footy season soon anyway.....

Re: English Cricket
224 will still take some getting on this wicket against this bowling attack. Don’t lose early wickets is the key.

Re: English Cricket
Think you can loosen them a little, any other bowler than Smith and you might feel a bit of sympathy but they do say cheats don’t proper.

Yes it was nice to see Smith hit for three successive sixes.
