Do you know what I mean?
And it all it does ebb and flow.
And they we can't because of COVID and Silver and all that stuff, I'm not actually I after the more I think about it, the more I think that almost that three two years of cricket needs to just be parked over there.
Because I don't think you could judge Ashley Giles on it.
I don't think you could judge Chris Silver properly on that kind of stuff.
Because it's actually unreally unfair on that.
But I think on this period you see you know, it s it was such wheels off and it just freewheeled and almost whatever McCollum said he people believed that it's right.
pessimistic?
You can you can uh for all the off field stuff, you can only
as good as the players that you've got.
And we we've mentioned it twice.
No world class spinner, no backup real world class spinner either.
So going to the subconference can be hard, but they have won before there recently with this kind of same group.
Haven't got the world class all rounder like Stokes, but actually Sam Curran, I like I really like the fact they mention Sam Curran because he's the best all rounder England has in that role.
So he almost has to play in certain conditions.
So
So look, I I I think it's just it's not going to be easy and just because it's all changed they're not winning every game.
But what I I think there is, you look at some of those players and you think, yeah, actually if they take the next step, I look at all the bowlers and I and I y probably Rob Robinson aside
all of them are like on that kind of teetering as a good bowler.
For this side to go and win the ashes or win in South Africa, we want we they've got to make that jump.
