And another thing...

SLOGGING IS NOT A REAL TEST

What a pointless exercise the one day international series between England and Pakistan was. Those in charge would have served the public better by having a fifth and decisive Test match rather than a bunch of one-sided slogging contests. If Test flop Alex Hales (above) keeps his place on the back of breaking England’s one-day individual scoring record I’ll be massively irritated.

RASHFORD SHOULD RUSH BACK

Marcus Rashford’s hat-trick for England Under 21s should be enough to propel the youngster back into the senior squad. With Harry Kane having hit a brick wall after two great seasons and Daniel Sturridge in possession of a brittle body, England need a natural goalscorer.
