Perhaps we need Glen Chapple back bowling and not coaching…

It also comes to something when England employ Mark Ramprakash to be their batting coach. The former failed test batsman who notoriously couldn’t mentally handle test cricket.

Agreed - Ramprakash is not involved anymore, it's Thorpe - there are 2 things here, technique and mental approach

I agree Ramprakash mentally didnt do it, but his technique was bloody good - the issue for batters right now is both, their techniques are all over the place as the new "modern" way of coaching is to allow the players to find their method and way - the old school method was coaching technique basics.

There are reviews taking place at the ECB now so will be interesting to see the outputs.

Only surprise is Aussies only got 303
Being 2 down after 30 odd runs is normal.

Fun Fact

In this series the Australians have bowled over 40% of their deliveries at 140Kph or above to the English batmen. Note this includes Lyon etc.

In English County cricket less than 1% of the total of all bowled deliveries are at 140kph or above.

Speed is killing the English batting line-up It is finding out the batting deficiencies of almost every English Batsman (including Root).

Regarding our batting when Vaughn got all those runs in Australia he pulled the good length ball because of the bounce this England team are playing ofside to much and why Root especially is getting out a lot.

I question that statistic. Only Starc and Wood consistently bowl over 140kph from either side.
 
Wtf is the matter with these damn batsmen? How can a Test match opener get himself run out!? Fucking hell it’s a five day game, why is Burns desperately trying to take one risky single?

They have neither the talent nor the application for this. Utter shit standard from the lot of them.
