The inquest begins over England's "abysmal" batting display on day one of the first Test against New Zealand as Nasser Hussain and Bob Willis join Charles Colvile on The Cricket Debate.
On the latest Sky Cricket Podcast - which you can download here - Hussain and Willis dissect England's collapse to 58 all out in 20.4 overs in the opening session of the day-night Test in Auckland.
Willis' verdict was unsurprisingly damning: "In India and Bangladesh, England have now proven beyond reasonable doubt they cannot play spin. In Australia, they've proven beyond reasonable doubt they cannot play pace. And now, in New Zealand, they proven beyond reasonable doubt they cannot play swing bowling either. A total embarrassment."
Hussain was equally critical, adding: "It was absolutely abysmal. It was rabbit in the headlights stuff, but it certainly wasn't rabbit in the floodlights - the floodlights hadn't even been turned on yet."
