If you want to know what's wrong with the England cricket team start by listening to test match special.
The home counties middle class accents would be an immediate turn off for the real young sportsmen who live in working class inner city areas. You just have to listen to the nerdy tones of Vic Marks, 'Aggers'(stiffled laugh) and of course those three losers Christopher Martin Jenkins!
The only commentator who has any real knowledge is of course G. Boycott. It is obvious the others in the 'team' can't stand his attitude because nine times out out of ten he is right and they are hopelessly wrong. The patronising old school tie way they talk to him says it all.
Cricket to them is not a sport to be played hard and won. It is a pleasant pass time to be watched in between wine and cakes!
