Not going to happen mid series.
But getting out played by rank average Aussie side is very poor. | |

It all boils down to one thing:
England have to get 10 wickets each innings.
Australia have to get 5 or 6 - as they will always be gifted the rest.
It doesn’t matter how good you are, that’s a recipe for defeat. |  |

It always felt as though we were hundred or so runs short.
When you look at the Aussie batting card, everyone contributed runs. We had FOUR ducks. Then, batters like Brook carelessly gifting their wicket. Very poor. | | | |

Taking Starc apart here, we'll be fine lads. |  |

Arrogantly preferring a rest after a two day test, to getting some pink ball time at the lions game is an insult to the travelling fans. | | | |

The Aussie card is very impressive for consistent scoring, but if just one of them had gone on to make a big 150, held up an end for longer, they would have got 700. their bowling attack is not great though. See Starc off and we should be making big scores. I am glad we are not flogging Archer into the ground. | | | |

Yes the lions who did get the practice in are doing well off it…. We’re just simply not good enough at test cricket I’m afraid. Haven’t been for a long time, Root is the last test level player we have. |  | | |

Brook could be if he applied himself properly. He was on the trajectory from his earliest days at Yorkshire. Played cricket the right way and was massively successful at county level for his age. But once he joined the England set-up and being young and impressionable, has bought fully into bazball . He pushes his luck too much. There will be days when it all goes right and he will look a genius, though.
Batsmen used to have a batting style for limited overs cricket and one for 4 or 5 day batting with bazball those borders have merged or blurred or disappeared altogether. Too many shots inappropriate for the situation of a test have crept in, a lack of discipline. | | | |

Bazball was created off the back of the last meek surrender in Australia. But at the same time it was created to mask the fact that we don’t create top level test players anymore. With a set of guys who are talented enough to on occasion be able to take a game away from the opposition. But the rub is it just gives us a brawlers chance against top opposition and no more than that. | | | |

Another England player that doesn’t bat with his brain and just throws his wicket away cheaply. He might have a good Test average, but he’s not world class for me. He still needs to show he can bat the match situation. That’s where Root is levels above him. | |
