Um isn't that an ECB thing?
Well there needs to be a reconsideration of the entire management, right from the very top. At the end of the day you cant just say that the players have screwed this series up, its been coming for a while because England have tried to stick with the same sort of plan that they've had for the last 3-4 years.

I think people are reading far too much into the 5-0 scoreline. The gap between Australian cricket and English cricket is certainly not that great. In professional sport, if your confidence is down (England's was shot after the result in Adelaide) then a good team will take advantage over the remainder of the Series (as Australia would have done if Edgbaston had have fallen their way in 2005). And, as your confidence continues to errode over a long five Test series, the bigger the gap will get (in that particular series).

Can't see how different they are. Both are tall, like to bowl back-of a lenght, both bowl full very sparingly, both rely on extra bounce. Only difference is that Mahmood has some ability to reverse swing it, Harmison can't
Hmmm, from what I've seen, Mahmood will never get that much bounce. Same sort of thing as Lee.
