IF it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

The England team might need some re-tuning - possibly a tweak here or there - but there is no way they should be considering making major changes in the wake of one defeat.

They need to hold their hands up and admit that the performances of two men, Mike Hussey and Mitchell Johnson, took the game away from them in Perth. But we must remember that this is the same touring side that routed the Australians in Adelaide and there should be no panic measures introduced.

Which other team in the world would be considering dropping the leading wicket-taker of the series?

Steven Finn has been expensive, but he has also been effective when it comes to having the final say in individual battles.

The Middlesex man will be the spearhead of England’s bowling attack for years to come and he must be given the opportunity to hone his skills on the pitch in the midst of battle.

Speaking of battles, it seems that Paul Collingwood faces one to retain his place at number five in the batting order.

This is the same man that, in the last 12 months, has saved England from cast-iron defeats in South Africa with his obdurate batting and then built on that by captaining his country to glory in the World Twenty20 Championship.

The Durham ace deserves a chance to prove he is still the man for a crisis. His physical prowess is certainly not on the wane judging by his stunning fielding. Hence, there is no reason at all, why he cannot return to form with some big scores in the final two Tests.
