They've actually got sort of settled test team, the likes of Duckett Crawley,
It's the manner in which they've chosen to play.
And that seems to have come from coaching and selection at the top and saying, right, this is how we're going to beat Australia in Test cricket.
But for the most part, ECB has managed to hold on to a core of its players that it wants to play in these formats.
To me, the criticism of the way the England team has been going at the moment might be the planning and the execution of what it is that they're trying to do.

I don't think too many people... Look, in England, there'll be a perennial argument about Zach Crawley.
Of course there will, because the guy has averaged 31.5 for his entire life, averages below Adil Rashid with the bat.
He's only got two more first-class hundreds than Adil Rashid.
Sorry, am I getting something off my chest?
But generally speaking, that is a choice that has been made, and those players have been held together.
The problem that...
South Africa have had and the West Indies have had, New Zealand have had, are problems that Australia and England shouldn't have because their players have to kind of be allowed to roam free and do what they do.
But you're saying that Australia have got the resources, they've got the culture to be able to say,
you come in, you be part of this Cricket Australia team, this setup, then you shouldn't need to go to the SA20.
I mean, I was kind of staggered, and maybe you can give me an insight into this.
A couple of years ago, wasn't it, when quite a lot of players were leaving the Big Bash before it was over.
to go and join the SA20 because there was an overlap.
Right.
And I would say someone like Chris Lynn.
