Something has gone seriously wrong behind the scenes with this tour. Maybe years of success and dominance have resulted in creeping brittleness when the squad is against the wall ? No doubt all will be revealed in due course.

Interesting stat: none of the Ashes matches played in 2013 were won by the team that lost the toss.

Mmm, the tour from hell has just ended.
Since they left England, it's been 104 days. During that time, England have won one competitive game - the fourth ODI in Perth. They've also lost five Tests, four ODIs and three T20s.
And if the scoring system for England's men's tour followed the same scheme as the Women's Ashes (six points for winning a Test, two for an ODI or T20), Australia would have triumphed 44-2. England would have lost the Ashes after the Melbourne Test, and won one of the nine dead-rubber matches which followed.
The winter of discombobulation is officially over. Trott has gone AWOL; Swann has retired; all our players bar Stuart Broad & Ben Stokes have gone backwards; this tour turned Captain Cook into an impersonation of Hugh Grant playing Scott of The Antarctic; and the coach Andy Flowers has jumped/been pushed.

There'll be a lot of people making big money from kiss-and-tell "auto"biographies recounting this tour.
Thank goodness it's over. I just wish the side had a few months off to re-group away from the spotlight, rather than a short tour of the West Indies in just 3 weeks time, followed by the T20 World Cup in March.

and the coach Andy Flowers has jumped/been pushed. Seems to be a bit of both. Flower wanted to carry on but the ECB seemingly want to revert to having one coach for all forms of the game and with him not involved in the one day setup anymore, he decided to step aside. It does seem to be an amicable split, with a strong possibility of Flower still being involved in some capacity.

And things have got even more pathetic. A sacrificial lamb has been found for England inept batting performance Down Under; they've ditched England's top run scorer from the ill fated tour: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/26040475
