Well dropping O Brien was without doubt a game ending moment

TBF 1.01 was excellent value
Ireland hit 400s and even that was probably too short

Yes without a doubt
Love him or hate him, Bopara has more talent and ability to change a match than Yardy. His 1 day bowling stats aint even bad, Strauss just dont bowl him so he dont get picked

Surely the England players are at least a little tired ? How long have they been on their travels for now, yeah I know that they aren't the only team but considering football managers complain about 2 games a week, surely playing this much cricket takes it toll ?

Flying back from Australia to England, then flying to India 3 or 4 days later was clearly insane. |

Not just tiredness though, the bowling tactics are just all wrong, steaming in and banging it on a length with a touch of width most times too is just begging to be hit.
Obvious really. Also, not obvious what Yardy brings as a bowler..or bat for that matter

I guess they know they made a mistake with arrangements and that's why the Ashes are being moved.

I don't agree with this mate. He has been an integral part of the one day set up over the past 18 months. |

The thing is, England should still find it pretty difficult to get knocked out - beating the Windies and Bangladesh will get us through even if we lose to SA.

Yardy avgs 20 with bat and over 50 with the ball. He has a first class bowling average of 77, he is a batsmen that isnt good enough to be in top 6 so they use him as a second spinner.
He shouldnt be anywhere near the squad let alone the first XI
