Hussain actually said his position as captain was unsustainable because of his decision to not go to Bangladesh. I think Vaughan had a similar view.

Lol.. he was singing a different tune then from whatever I watched during the ODI series.
Wood overated with the white ball? Leave it out! He swings the ball both ways, bowls 90+ and takes wickets. If he leaks runs it probably just because of the pace on the ball.
But his pace was much quicker last year than any other year iv seen him, and the only odi series he played last summer against pakistan he took 7 in 4 matches. Not a bad return really considering he hasnt played consistently because of injuries

he also goes at nearly 6 an over and costs 50 runs per wicket.
7 in 4 matches @ 5.85 RPO. Pretty much the same figures as the current lot. I am not saying he is worse than them but the idea he is some gun strike bowler likewise doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
He is a good Test match bowler though.

Alright Donald. I'm not sure I'm going to take your word on it.

Well I saw him get Durham into the final of the T20 last year with a devastating spell. He made Joe Root look like Glenn McGrath at the crease, that is distinctly dreadful.

As I said, if you saw the games and his commentary you will know he was pushing a different narrative then.

Regardless of the results that was a pretty good game, 320 seems like a very decent par score to me, gives the fans enough of boundary shots while not making you feel as if you can replace the bowlers with the bowling machine.
England competed very well in the series but it's hard to say if they learned anything new about themselves, in that respect India are better given that they discovered a gun in Jadhav and a semi-gun in Pandya, if Pandya can cut out his brain fade moments in both batting and bowling and with Rohit and Shami coming back by CT India are genuine contenders, will put them and Australia at #2 and England a marginal #1 favorite.

I hope Pant gets a long run even if he has 1 or 2 failures. With Dhoni also in the same team, worried if Pant will get enough chances.

Also, now it is Pant, De Kock and Dickwella playing for 3 international teams as keepers. If England can get Foakes as well, good times for memes ahead.
