Total rethink required in wake of Dutch disaster

England cricket must make sweeping changes after a humiliating defeat to the Netherlands in the World Twenty20 capped off a dismal winter, British national media declared on Tuesday.

Given the 5-0 Ashes loss in Australia, Fleet Street agreed England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton had a lot of decisions to make, including the future of one-day coach Ashley Giles, who oversaw England's weak showing in Bangladesh.

The Guardian ran with headline "Shambolic winter ends in Dutch humiliation" while the Sun tabloid splashed "Hol lot of rubbish" across its sports pages.
