I dont think he has a plan full stop. Like his predecessors in the role, Cook and Strauss, he looks completely devoid of any ideas if plan A doesnt work.

its hard to watch at times it really is, totally devoid of proper captaincy and plans to target opposition players and certain situations, we used to have more of a clue at club cricket level!!!!

I think its a particularly English issue when you consider that Cook was useless and Strauss limited tactically.

There does seem to be a correlation between the increase in statistics / analysis and the lack of tactical nous in England captains.

I turned over after tea as it was just poor...bereft of ideas and passion.
