Start the car, back your bags it is official now....

The powers that be have some difficult questions to answer.

This is simply not good enough at all.

Only Stokes has done himself any favors on this tour .

Lets be honest i know it over reaction but the rest could all be dropped.

No such thing as an easy slip catch but if there was that would be it!

Probably should've gone for a catch that went to first slips right hand. It's a keepers catch all day. They also showed a carbon copy of one that prior didn't go for. A natural keeper would've caught it. Foster would've caught it backwards.

I blame Manoramic bloke him and his Yorkshire boys...

People say they do not want Andy Flower to not quit really???

Looks like a sinking ship maybe he has already said he is going and where going through the motions i have never seen a inept performance for so long like this even when England where really bad.

England need to go back to simple cricket basics.....

Totally agree mate they look beat in every way, shape and form just embarrassing for them and anybody who is English and a cricket fan. This whole tour has been a mess and selection policy was just bizarre. Once again from England not a single change in the batting line up despite not scoring over 350 in 10 tests just pick on an easy target such as prior.

I'm even go to say as much as this.

When England where getting pumped for fun in the 90's early 00 Australia where by far a better side.

Now i'm not saying there not better now but it marginal and unfortunately for me this performance has not been good enough and it must rest with the skipper and management.

Should Cook lose the captaincy i mean Australia are decent but not 4-0 something is wrong your all blame individuals but it also the management and captain job to rally people..

We've got a keeper leaving catches and a skipper who couldn't catch a cold, great cordon that is!
Now a part time spinner is bowling with a ball 15 overs old, wheels are off and Cook's lost the plot!

Anyone else have a little cricketing erection over Ben Stokes? Looks a more ginger, lighter, healthier, more talented version of Flintoff?

Been saying he's a bright prospect for months. As soon as he made his debut I said he'd be aroun for yers and had all the makings of the next Flintoff.
Just need him to get a new kit sponsor now ;)
