Kudos to Pakistan

They're playing well and showing up the flaws in our game.

It'll be a good chance to see who in the current 11 has the chops to play well under pressure.

The thing which makes me pause a little is that England have a pretty poor record of getting the most out of quality players.

Buttler/Bairstow/Moeen have all become shadows of the players they are away from the England side.

We leaned heavily on Stokes in the WI tests and there were some great knocks from sibley, burns etc too.

Just left with the niggling doubt that our coaching set up can extract the best from the players they have.
