A tumultuous Test summer of two resets, the death of Bazball, a nightclub or two, the retirements of Ben Stokes and Kane Williamson, a Test series lost (1-2 to New Zealand) and won (3-0 over Pakistan). Ali will be here soon with his thoughts. Do join us for the white-ball Indian summer, thanks for all your comments. Bye!And as the red ball summer finishes, the white ball restarts with a T20 on Tuesday against a Sri Lankan team who on Friday were thrashed by the England Lions, who chased down 117 in 7.2 oversStephen Fleming“I think he’ll help Joe Root tactically,” says Stuart Broad. “To bring a bit of awareness and calm to situations like yesterday. He’s not going to come in and make loads of changes everywhere, he’ll take his time and make calm, cool selection decisions.”Dukes balls and standing up to the stumpsEoin Morgan “We’ve learnt our bowlers can bowl in really friendly conditions, the current players are talking about the balls staying harder for longer and with a more prominent seam. I’d like to know how that is regulated by Dukes’, how compliance is met and vetted, cos it can dictate how a series goes. Yesterday afternoon we learnt that England need more clarity around the planning and the execution is crucial as they’ll come across a lot better batters that Razaullah.“I really like Dan Lawrence and Jordan Cox and they will definitely be on the plane alongside Emilio Gay.”“I don’t think we learnt that much about Ollie Robinson, says Stuart Broad, who basically goes on to intimate that in these conditions a number of county bowlers could have done the same. “I would expect the pitches to be better next summer,” he says, “ I don’t want to see keepers standing up to the stump to 80mph bowlers.”England's interim coach Marcus Trescothick(I only come to this half way through)“Batting wise in Test cricket I think we’ve seen a bit of a shift from our guys, slightly more conservative, slightly more measured, though the volume of hundreds hasn’t been there.“We’re delighted right now, we’ve made a slight shift in the approach to the game, you want to play big series like the Ashes cos you want to be tested. We’re moving in the right direction and I hand it over, good luck to them.”England's captain Joe RootRoot lifts the trophy, a low-key celebration. He pays tribute to Brendan McCullum and Ben Stokes and says his team is a continuation of that.Test cricket is not meant to be easy and you’re not meant to have it all your own way all the time. The last two days felt like normal Test cricket again. You have to work hard for your wickets. If you get in you should be able to score runs and feel like you can make a valuable contribution and not feel like you’re waiting for that good ball all the time. Throughout the series the batters have stood up.On players not making big hundreds. “That has been across the board all summer. We haven’t had the situation or pitches that has been able to happen. The fact that everyone has made a score and contributed shows we have the quality to perform at Test cricket is a good thing too.“Of course there’s things we want to improve on and look at but we’ve come into this series with a lot of question marks around the team and we’ve walked away 3-0 quite convincingly, so in that respect I’m happy.”On Jordan Cox’s performance: “He showed great maturity and has done throughout the whole series. He had not had much experience batting at number three, and in some of the conditions we found ourselves in as well, the manner he has played has been outstanding. Today he showed great composure, great maturity. At 2-2, the only way back in for them was a start like that and the way we both handled it, he in particular was brilliant.”12Pakistan's captain Babar Azam“Belief was high with two wickets in the first over, but England played very well.”Was he missing a front-line spinner today? “Don’t think so, the conditions have been grassy and that’s why we played with three fast bowlers.“We enjoyed Razaullah, everyone did. He’s a very good talent and it’s good for us. I didn’t know too much, to be honest. I learned about his batting, as he came in as an opener [for Peshawar].”“Coming to England it is difficult for the batters and fast-bowling group. We need to sit down and admit our mistakes, and then work out our best XI.”England's player of the series and Rothesay Test match player of the summer: Ollie Robinson“It’s been very special. It’s always nice to cap it off with 3-0 win. It’s been well documented that I thought I’d never play for England again. Great to get the opportunity and I’ve grabbed it with both hands. Hopefully I can keep that going, I’ve got that inner drive and ambition to push on. The hard work’s not done yet, we’re just getting started.”Strange that the seamers took the wickets in such a dry summer. “Been a strange one, we expected flatter wickets, but they’ve nipped a lot with the new balls, the balls are slightly hard and it’s done more than previous summers.”“We’ll have to adapt again in SA this winter. As a four, it’s great to be part of that attack, with three guys that can bowl 90mph. Really special bowling group. Smudge has helped me get a lot of wickets coming up to the stumps, made it look easy. And for Coxy to come in and get five, it shows where the group is at.”Pakistan's player of the series - Mohammad AbbasPakistan’s chances today? “Anything is possible, my speciality is taking wickets with the new ball. We had a chat, anything is possible and we tried our best but sometimes you are bowling no-balls.”On Razaullah: “I really enjoyed playing against him in first-class cricket, against us he scored some runs. He has a very good future.”His five wickets at Lord’s: “It was a special moment for me.”On the chaotic nature of the tour. “Everyone has tried but I think we needed to spend more time in England.”He’s 37, how long will he go on? “It depnedsn on my fitness but I’m working hard with my special trainer.”Player of the match - Dan Lawrence!Call me a romantic, but I’d have given it to the young man who played the innings of the summer. Anyway, well played Dan Lawrence for 65, a couple of wickets and a cracking catch.“Runs are the most pleasing, though I felt I left a few out there. I was happy with the catch and a couple of wickets. I got off to a really nice start that morning but I was frustrated I couldn’t get more. I think if I keep playing the way i am I’m sure the three figures will come.“Contributing in all three games has helped my confidence and fingers crossed I’ll keep my place.”As for England, it difficult to gauge against this chaotic Pakistan team but the reboot under Root.2 has been gently impressive (except for when the wheels fell off yesterday. Joe Root finding his batting boots today was a nice coda to the whole thing.“Bit of chat around Bethell opening but wouldn’t Cox be a better option? The right left combination with Duckett could help the latter find his form. It’s not been discussed much, but could Duckett’s loss of form have anything to do with Crawley’s absence?” asks Ollie Benson.What the Pakistan team need above all is vision, stability and patience at the top to go with the undoubted talent – sums up the Sky view, and the OBO view too.“The problem is not just here in England,” says Urooj Mumtaz, “though the nature of England’s wins were massive. Pakistan has made about 11 days of Test cricket out of the 15 and we had one good day. There are ingredients to work with here but it needs a lot of work.”Pakistan will be rueing what have been with that no-ball from Ali that bowled Joe Root. But the scoreline reflects England’s complete dominance of a Pakistan team in disarray. What yesterday’s wonders from Razaullah did show us though was how much English cricket, or at least English cricket fans, want a strong, vibrant, Pakistan.England beat Pakistan by eight wickets and the series 3-024.2 overs: England 130-2 (Cox 59, Root 62) A couple of quick singles does it!

It is as if the board had personal vendetta against some their own players and decided to act on it.
