England must plug the gaps

Duncan Fletcher writes in the Guardian that two of England's main concerns are the identity of their fourth seamer and No. 3 slot in the batting.

With England having slipped to No. 6 in the Test rankings after the defeat in the Caribbean, Michael Atherton says in the Times that they should realise they aren't one of the best teams in the world any more.

Two things were fundamental to that failure: an inherently cautious attitude, born of a team not used to winning and unsure of themselves, and a bowling attack that is worthy in its endeavours but lacks the magic ingredients to dismiss good players on good pitches.
