Selection will be interesting for the next one. I quite liked having five specialist bowlers, but when some of them perform like they did today, we end up looking a batsman short because we're being set too many.
I just think we're very ordinary in these games, and have been for a while after something of a false dawn in SA the other winter.
I think we played well last summer ,thinking back, before they went off to the Ashes, the team had shown some good improvements and where turning into a good side.
Today though, just seemed to emphasize England's frailties, if Trott doesn't go one, it leaves others, with work to do and to take up the slack and the same with Bell, he doesn't seem to be able, to take his game over to the one day stuff.
Not enough runs from guys like Swann and Broad for far too long is a problem as well and like someone said on commentary, when have they ever finished a game off for England.
Broad who is usually the best one day bowler and can be counted on to take wickets, hasn't found his form since those 2 injuries he had. Death bowling is crap and I can't believe how few yorkers they bowl, needs to be sorted out, if the team is to move on.
For me, you could leave Bell out and play Patel, who I feel would offer far more down the order. Yes, they didn't play well today but they played very well in the last match and we can start to make too much, out of this loss. We'll see how they respond to this defeat because they usually respond very well, from losses.
