The issue for me is, can Handscombe do any worse than Wade?? Probably not. And by making that move we allow ourselves to pick another batsman [who can also bowl] to bolster the batting line up, which continues to crumble in the middle when under pressure. You then replace JH with SOK.
The Wade experiment has been a bust, and we should do something different. But I have no confidence that the deadheads on the selection panel would ever admit they were wrong and drop Wade mid tour.
And I also agree with LP that the tactics from Smith with his bowling changes continues to be amateur hour - he really is poor with his choices and when to make changes and mix things up. He doesn't seem to be learning from his mistakes which is what bugs me, and Boof is not the sharpest tool in the shed which doesn't help either.......
Langar is going to be the new coach sooner or later....not sure he is an improvement in the sharper tool category though....
