I mean... It was 2-2 guys, let's not get carried away. It was only after going 2-0 down that they changed their one-dimensional seam attack to bring in Woakes and Wood which won these tests. They still play favourites and moan when things don't go their way.
If anything, the drawn series is worse for England because it means they'll persist with Bairstow and Robinson etc. thinking that's what won those matches. |

Well personally I'm drawing the positives .. Enthralling series and entertaining every day and if it brings more kids into playing Cricket for England then it needs applauding   |

Opening two games could have gone either way
Bairstow played well once he got some match sharpness. Robinson's figures are very impressive, he's Broad's natural successor |

Oh it was absolutely entertaining and would've been an amazing tie-breaker had rain not ruined the 4th. But England fans are so quick to play the victim while simultaneously claiming to be the best in the world. It's rather tiresome. |

Bairstow was still dropping catches in the 3rd and 4th tests while only contributing once England was in a strong position. But he plays golf with Ben Stokes so his place is all but assured |

I just wanted to bring attention to those who should play instead of the favourites. That's all Foakes! |

It'll definitely be interesting, they definitely need two spinners so potentially Leach and Moeen if he stays on. Then probably 2 of Anderson, Woakes and Robinson and Wood |

They've got to move on from Moeen and Anderson surely? Get big Will Jacks in. |

Mo has already ruled himself out. Anderson may well go given his record in India
Jack's may well go |
