Brilliant piece by Mike Atherton in today’s Times about why the players have to shoulder responsibility for the Ashes batting shambles.
@EwenRankin Funny how nobody was making that point when we were winning successive series, though?

@bazzacollins and last summers wins were mostly down to Bell and a couple of others chipping in. Prior, Cook, Trott et al did little -
@EwenRankin As Atherton’s piece points out, Bell and Cook are the ones who work closest with Gooch. England’s best two batsmen. -
@bazzacollins I'd hardly point to Cook as in form though mate -
@EwenRankin No, but he’s about to become England’s highest ever runs scorer. He’s been working with Gooch for years, starting at Essex. -
@bazzacollins based on current form 'about' may be there for a while.

@bazzacollins Gooch's obsessional approach was well documented as a horror of the England set up for a long timeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@bazzacollins I've always seen batting like golf. Cricket is the most individualistic team sport in the worldThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
