Oh dear

Two things really hit me on this tour

One, our batting suddenly seems far weaker than I thought it was. No opening partner for Cooky, Ballance has failed, Bell on his way to terminal decline, Buttler who seemed so promising failed, Bairstow still unconvincing ... We're all over the shop

Two, we really miss Swan. I was kind of hoping that Mo would grow into Swan-lite, or Rashid would turn into a useful option ... But this tour has really shown them up
