How do we fix England

Never going to happen when the ****wits penalise teams whenever they produce a pitch that encourages spin.
I of course meant fast bowlers, not fat.
Nah, we need a thousand Ian Blackwells coming through the ranks.
Uncovering an Ian Blackwell clone as our new fast bowling prodigy would admittedly be hilarious.

The solution is simple...
Reduce the County Championship by at least two rounds.
Streamline the T20 Blast to a six team tournament.
Get rid of the 50 over cup.
Kookaburra balls to be used in all games.
Double the amount of matches in The Hundred
Redesign all English cricket grounds so that the pitch is entirely square.
Introduce football-style coaches.
...or we could just play better.

Ew no
I love watching random clips of trundlers swinging and seaming it around corners on the CC social media channels. It’s a nice quirk of English cricket.

Huh, do you guys not have a Marquess of Cholmondeley in Pakistan? How do you guys manage?

They do have a Chief of Staff to the CEO of the Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Limited who performs a similar function

Less first class games does seem like a good solution.

More successors to 'Flat' Jack Simmons would be a good thing.

On the topics of foakes, I still think best practice is to swap the middle order around in some way so he can bat 5. He's made runs there for Surrey, and I feel his issue at test level is more a cameron green batting too low down issue then anything else. Feels like he always grinds out 20-40(80-90) and gets out trying to accelerate. Maybe we just need to let him face a few more balls and get to 60(130)?
Would also mean stokes can bat a bit lower and get his workload sorted out.

foakes is categorically better than bairstow.
suggesting a lad who probably struggles to bend over and tie his own shoes these days as keeper is likely a poor decision.
