Colin Graves publically criticises England after their World Cup and Caribbean failures.
“It’s down to the players who have been on the park – nobody else,” said Graves. “The performances have been a disgrace; they have been unacceptable. The players need to take a long, hard look at themselves as far as I’m concerned.
“We’ve given them everything they wanted – contracts, salaries, we’ve given them everything. So they can’t turn round and say England's done this or England's done that.
“In the past, they’ve blamed the Carribean pitches and said we can’t get a result pitch in Grenada. Well, we’ve had bloody result pitches this year, but we can't win on them. Devendera Bishoo managed to get a 5-fer on that wicket and Moeen Ali got carted about."
“Don’t blame the bloody pitch, it’s not the pitch. It’s the fact they can’t play on it, that’s the problem.”
"Stats are there to be broken" Dominic Cork
"They took all our players away, banned our captain and we still came away with a ten-wicket victory" Jason Gillespie
"You won't get anywhere slouching about half out of bed" Geoffrey Boycott
