England Team With Brain Isnt Good Enough To Compete With Australia Or India: Kevin Pietersen

Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen has bashed the English side, saying that a team with brain isnt good enough to compete against either Australia or India. His comments have come after Englands dismal performance in their 1-4 Ashes drubbing on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground as they lost the fifth and final Test of the series by five wickets. After the loss, the England and Wales Cricket Boards Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould stated that a 'thorough review' has already been underway after England's 4-1 Ashes defeat. Taking a dig at the side, Pietersen said that he will help the board in the investigation for free, as he wrote on X, Ill help with the thorough investigation that the ECB are going to conduct, right here, for free. Apart from Stokes, Root, Archer, Bethell & Brook WITH a brain, the team isnt good enough to compete with Aus or India. Its proven just on this tour with Aus missing most of their best players. All the pre-tour game chat, discipline chat, and now investigations are mere distractions. Its very simple, as Ive stated above. While England looked confident heading into the Ashes, they suffered consecutive defeats in the first three Tests at Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide, thereby claiming the urn inside just 11 days. While England clinched a win in the fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the hosts completed a dominant 41 victory with a five-wicket victory in the fifth Test at the SCG, successfully chasing a target of 160 on a challenging final-day pitch.
