Worst England batting side ever?

Difficult to argue against it.

Nine test defeats in a year, the worst by any team ever in a calendar year.

They play too much white ball cricket but it's not going anywhere soon unfortunately.
The long game has been in decline for a long time now and England have become a shambles.

Gotta feel sorry for Jimmy Anderson flogging his guts out only to be let down by a bunch of incompetents.

Too many "types" of player getting caps which has devalued the honour of playing for your country.

Perhaps coaches need to get out into the communities.

The majority of the squad have had a private education.

England’s third highest run scorer in tests this year is extras.

Wonder if Kiran Carlson will get a go soon. They could certainly do a lot worse than give him a chance. Classy player, great character, would love to see him get a chance.

Depends if the selectors feel like venturing over the bridge for a change?

No.

I can think of two , but Burns as an opener has been a disaster hasn’t it , it’s really worrisome that the batting cupboard is so bare.
