Boycott Dishes Scathing Criticism Of England's Woes

The thing about Geoffrey Boycott, one of England’s best defensive opening batsman, is that only his words can describe him best or describe his views about a particular matter in cricket, like that of the current England dressing room.
Geoffrey Boycott pulled the rug from under the carpet as he called England’s problems consistent, their results non existent and their line up a ’sorry’ lot.
He felt that the team composition was essentially one put together under Peter Moores and England were not winning enough to suggest that they should be persisted with, all except Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen.
He called England’s efforts in Jamaica spineless and tore apart the players’ reputation.
On Monty Panesar: “Monty Panesar still bowls the same ball six times an over.”
On Alastair Cook: “Alistair Cook still has the same technical issues outside off-stump that the Australians exploited in the last Ashes series.”
On Steve Harmison: “Steve Harmison still blows hot and cold.”
On Ian Bell: “Ian Bell still keels over at the first hint of pressure.”

Boycott also had a strong word for the back room staff and their role in lulling the team into a false comfort zone, “These lads just have it too easy. There is no motivation to improve when they have more than a dozen backroom staff to analyse their techniques, put out the cones at training, and virtually wipe their bottoms for them. I feel sorry for these modern players, because they don’t have the chance to think for themselves and develop their own characters.”

Ouch! That would have stung!
