Wow, our bowling is shocking
I was looking forward to them getting at the Aussies with this pink ball, I believed we could have bowled them out for under 250. Now it's done, they will get a good lead and bowl us out cheaply again and lead the series 2.0

Big lead incoming.

If only Stokes never run himself out.

If only the keeper held onto that early chance.

If, if,if

Yeh call it 5-0 now and bring them home. Save us all the embarrassment of watching this for another month!

 

[Robanompivenov]

A few horrible overs from England. Look out of ideas after fewer than four days of cricket this series.

 

[willipp]

What happened to this unplayable night session where the ball was going to be moving all over the place?

If only Australia weren’t better than us at batting bowling fielding and tactics

Carse isn't very good is he?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Out baz balling us.

It’s over ashes is done we will be 2-0 down this Aussie side they’ll bat get a big lead then we will have to bat the whole of the last session where we will lose 5 wickets or more and be still behind them!

It has been embarrassing apart from Roots 100! It be 5-0 and I thought we would get at least a 2-2 result. 3 years of building to this THIS!! Sack the lot of them.

Seen that last summer

 

[Stelea]

Feeble this England.
Seriously, is Carse an international cricketer standard. 92 Runs off 11 overs !

It’s a fucking jolly up back slapping tour! There are only a couple of serious players for us!

This is seriously shite bowling. Carse conceding over 8 an over. Stokes looks like he's losing the plot with these fields.

Pink ball, at night, just fucking bowl full and straight just like Cummins did. The ball will do something

 

[BringBackSwales]

Let’s be honest we just arent producing world class cricketers. We were dog shit before McCullum and Stokes took over and we’ve had a couple of exciting years, I assume McCullum will be gone after the Ashes and we will revert to still bring shit but dull shit. I am not aware if lots of players knocking on the door of the Test side. NZ and Pakistan will be closer at home with the Dukes ball and the return of Chris Woakes!

 

[meeesh]

Wish I'd lumped on 5-0, but being too patriotic stops me everytime, they are fucking wank, and nobody will tell me different, levels these days are West Indies, Bangladesh and Ireland at best!

Stokes as captain been piss poor these two matches!

 

[MillionMilesAway]

Australia seem to be in a hurry. That'll make the bowlers feel better for later in the series, but they'll not want to chase many in the 4th innings.

Good to see England using the spinner to control one end!

 

[antspider]

So , do I have a session tonight, or lay off so I can get up at 3.45 to watch the cricket ?
