This is suddenly very hard to watch, possible wicket every ball
For all the hype about this team the Ashes in Oz is the true test and so far at least is one they are failing
Not sure there was that much hype. Batting line up always fragile and while we’re 0-10 for 1 constantly that’s not gonna change. Our bowling attack is great when fit but batters need to back them up. Agree, along with India away, it’s still the ultimate test
Its Bazball innit!?Whats pathetic here is thats the greatest opportunity we've ever had to take a 1-0 lead in an ashes series in Aus in about 70 years
Instead we've absolutely shat the bed
I think cricket should be played very differently to how I think football should be played. Building an innings in a test match requires skill in knowing when to bed in, when to attack and how to grab singles and twos with less risk.Its Bazball innit!?

Fully agree. As being shown by the Aussies right now, you can be attack minded and aggressive without gifting wickets. Our Bazball batting collapses are just pathetic and needless. How many went edged today reaching outside for balls that should just be left? Far too many!I think cricket should be played very differently to how I think football should be played. Building an innings in a test match requires skill in knowing when to bed in, when to attack and how to grab singles and twos with less risk.
Going all out attack will make for better TV and occasionally produce some stunning victories, but it won’t do as well for results in the long term. I predicted a 5-0 whitewash coming into this and stand by it, it’s far too gung ho an approach.
Is there a way to turd emoji your own comment?Morning Everyone.
Some shocking footwork on display so far. Still think we'll be ok if we get past 200 lead though.
And there is the issue. Its well documented that it dies down on day 2 and 3. We should have bowled first but even then we probably wouldnt have been batting in our first innings now as we struggle to bat more than 50 overs.Pitch looks like it’s died as well
Oh dear.
Looking like the series will be another 5-0 whitewash
I’ve scored as many runs as Crawley has in these ashes
We aren’t going to suddenly change approach during a series. This is a side that lives and mostly dies by the sword of needlessly chucking wickets away.Bit early for that. Batsmen need to get their heads in the game quickly though
TNT must be chuffed getting a two day test.
Hopefully this humiliation will focus minds
I do refer you to the Indian series which went the course in all matches I thinkI think they asked England to bowl at a pathetic over rate in order to stretch it to two days.
The game finished with over 40 overs of the full two-day allocation unbowled, so it was really about a day and a half
If our batting doesn't improve we may yet see the world's first one day match match in this series
