Prior needs to go. His England career should end now. Will Broad be fit for the next test? If not, it'll be interesting to see who comes in.
I agree that Bairstow should be given the chance to show what he can do in next couple of games. However I do not necessarily see it should it be the end of Priors test career. He is not yet 32 and despite a very poor year has still got a test average of just over 40. Class is permanent, form is temporary and if he rediscovered that form he could not be playing for England for quite a few more years.
Bowling choices will be interesting especially if Broad is not fit.

Well test match average of around 40 in test (just over) and first class (just under) is pretty good record although I would accept their are probably better keepers. Interesting to note of the pretenders to the crown Bairstow test ave. is 30 (first class is an impressive 43). Jos Buttler First Class ave. 32.

I would say Andy Flower would probably wait until the tour is over before he considers his future but I am sure he would have to explain what exactly happened on this tour and why it has gone so horribly wrong.
But it is amazing how Australia have picked themselves up after the tests last summer, dusted themselves off, and got a winning mentality in such a short space of time.
Whether England can do the same whether it be we either lose 3 - 0 or 5 - 0 remains to be seen. Even so I feel some of the players themselves need to explain why it has gone wrong this winter.
I certainly do think now we have to start putting together a strong top order and be able to bat right down to 7, 8 or 9 and the guys get the same mentality that the Aussies have shown this series back, and also cut out reckless shots.
I'm all for batsmen having a go and taking risks but on this tour it has happened far too often for my liking but they have to learn how to build an innings again and take fewer risks in future and also be patient.
