No surprise this morning that Australia are still batting they are grinding our bowlers into the ground! Be over today this

I was just about to put this might not make it to day 4. They score another 50. Bowl us out in 35 overs and smack what they need for a 9 wicket victory.

Am usually positive but seen to many games like this in Australia and Australia know grinding out bowlers into the ground now in the Aussie heat will cause big damage long term to them!

Only way we get any hope for me will be down to duckett root and brook we know brook if he stays in 30/40 overs he could drag us back into it with root around him! But that’s a 5% chance..

Hurtling towards 2-0 at an indecent speed. I said yesterday that we could be looking at a first innings deficit of 100. It may well be nearer to double that.

Woke up half expecting England to be 3/4 down so at least it’s kind of a positive.

This is ridiculous. As I said before the series there's some ridiculous overhyping of this England team.our bowlers are inexperienced, our batting is average and we are poor in the field.

This Australian side is poor but it's still a lot better than England.

I don’t think this Aussie side is poor, just not as good as past sides, but fuck me we’re making them look world class. We’re making Bowland and Starc look like world class batsmen it’s that easy for them.

Compare how the Aussies have batted to how our lot bat when we finally get in.

Painful viewing this.

Bazball in its death throes here….

 

[jaiguruKun]

Absolutely pathetic. The Aussies were 100% right about England being arrogant in their approach.

At least the bowlers will get a nice rest.

 

[Don Karleone]

Back again. Let's see how they disappoint us today.

Nice one lads

Can someone tell me who passed away recently, with England players wearing black armbands ?

Same problem every Australia tour. Our batsmen can't go big enough and our bowlers are completely ineffective. Every Ashes series the same shit bowling yards too short.

Robin Smith

 

[Don Karleone]

Tried to fuck that up as well.

Bazball very recently deceased

 

[waspish]

I blame the batsman brook number one culprit for me then pope those two have played braindead shots at important times in there 3 innings each! They are experienced batters!

 

[Gabriel]

The Australian attack is nothing to fear, Starc excepted, but whether the English batsmen have the patience to stay at the crease and salvage both their pride and the series, well that’s a different matter.

English test cricket.

 

[waspish]

One thing with Australia in Australia is when they get on top they rub your noses right in that dirt till your completely dead!

 

[DelToro]

Starc, an Australian tail ender, demonstrating to the English how to bat.

I wonder if the lesson will be learnt?
