Declared too early in the first test and the first innings batting collapse in this one cost us the game.

We need to be more professional in the remaining matches.

And bowled too arrogantly on day one thinking the wicket would do the work for us. Just turning up simply isn’t good enough. Lords always does something on the first morning as all Lancashire fans will know from our one day final wins will testify to

The better bowling team won it's that simple.

We need big changes to the bowling to save the whitewash, Forget the ashes they are already gone from the first test, England are never going to win 2 tests playing Bazball vs the Aussies, For me its now time to build a team for the Ashes down under in 2 years time, youth and some sort of pace bowlers that can bowl over 85mph, plus a Spinner that plays in every test.

By the way, it's not cheating or unsportsmanship but lazy cricket from Bairstow, He also should be dropped for Foakes because of the mistakes and dropped catches

I said that after the first test, and was called out for it by a poster on here. I suggested that it was going to be difficult to win the series after going behind as my impression was/is that Australia don't lose many series after going behind. I got 2005 thrown back at me, ignoring the fact that I never said that they never lose series after going behind. Hey ho.
 
Surrey or Kent at home, Kent need to beat Somerset though this evening to knock out Essex.

I hope we play on Thursday.

Always remember that stunning bowling by Glen Chapple in the 1996 Nat West Trophy final.

Cricketers like the footballers.
They have to man up big time.

To be fair the English cricketers did.
The Aussies behaved like playground snides hiding behind a ruling that everyone knows would be an affront to sportsmanship. But that's the Australian "sporting" psyche all over - win at all costs no matter how purile.
They need to "man up" and go toe to toe in a full blooded competitive battle, rather than looking for unfair, unsporting assistance.
