[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 1132840, member: 72205"] Well there's a separation of world view and England. I think its a question of nature of results 18 months ago we got utterly pounded by Australia 4-0 and we weren't even close. We are now pretty much playing with the same core team and just ran the number 1 team in the world close. The current test champions side who just the previous week crushed India (who were ranked number 1 at the time), a team we also crushed last year playing Bazball chasing down 378. I don't think the approach can be judged by if we win or lose the series considering where we were and who are playing. But simply are we in a position to win each game and if its aggressive approach that made us lose it. In this game there is a query over the declaration but its not why we lost, it is why we were in a position to win. If wishes were horses I'd drop Crawley, Duckett or Brook and play him a specialist Batter. But I don't see that happening also some of those were uncharacteristic for Jonny especially on a pitch not doing much. His keeping stats are actually pretty much up there in modern keeping terms (they bought them up during the game). His mistakes cost us this game (and a whole bunch of other things that could of gone right) but they won't react to one bad test. [/QUOTE]
