Ashley Giles "stepped down" from his role as managing director of England men's cricket on Wednesday as he paid the price for the team's woeful 4-0 Ashes series loss in Australia.

You'd think that it's the players fault for the poor performance - or does Giles become the easier target?

Easier to fire Giles and probably Silverwood will follow him.

Limited captain choices if they fire root. Options seems to be Stokes or broad...

 

[Neoprod]

They did make some selection errors along the way...Broad and Anderson not playing the tests where they had the most chance of getting wickets is probably the most glaring.

Can't really blame the batting issues on selection...nobody they tried came right.

I’m actually impressed, an English team in Australia that managed not to lose by an innings and 100 runs.
