Indefensible

Pathetic

Joke

Embarrassing

I will defend England more than most but this is crap complete and utter crap!

I'd love to see a beehive of hear dismissals I bet we could have left all of them

I guess simply put a very good white ball side but a bang average test or red ball side when it comes to batting. Feel sorry for the bowlers as they keep getting us in good positions only for our batters to be bang average. Roy was just shocking, Root got a decent enough ball but plays with an angled bat, Burns 50/50 if he should have played that shot given the situation, fortunately haven’t seen the rest of the wickets as I’m currently in a soft play with my 8month old who I’m sure already has better game situation management than Roy or the England selectors

Can't see a good reason for Foakes to not take the gloves in the test side tbh

Blame the bats of englishmen. But there appeared to be, to me at least, an Australian bowler involved in each of those wickets.....

Root got a good nut, few others god decent balls but far from unplayable.

The Aus bowling has been every bit as good as the English bowling yesterday.  Not every day you see four catches at first slip and two caught behind from the first six wickets!
Tight line and length (and some poor footwork) made Roy, Burns, Denley and Stokes have big swings at balls they all could have left.
Root fair enough - he got a great second ball, and I thought Bairstow was seeing them well until he nicked one without any footwork.
Persisting opening with Roy is what we would call "throwing good money after bad".
Burns' forward leaning batting stance is his achilles for short balls, and he can expect a lot of them for the rest of the series.

Interesting that Warner missed out on runs at Edgebaston, had another shocker at Lords plus dropped a couple (allowing Stokes to get a hundred), and here he makes runs and all the catches stick.
I guess that's why we all love cricket - knowing that despite poor form, sometimes it can all turn around for you! :)

Australia are a fantastic bowling side not argument there, but this English batting line up fails time and time again, even Ireland’s attack had our players in all sorts. The conditions yesterday as all the pros and pundits said was as hard as you can get, today looks 10 times easier conditions wise but once again we implode, starting at the top with a white ball biffer and the middle order are in after 10-15 overs almost every innings.

But as you mention great use of the new cherry by the Aussie attack and whoever comes in bowling wise does the job. Even your flakey batting line up looks super solid compared to our muppets

You know as well as i do, probably more so, that the decision to leave a ball is a question asked and often answered by the bowler alone.

England have had the best of conditions to bowl and bat in. Yet embarrassingly rolled over

Superb bowling from Australia - Denly and Roy are not test match cricketers. Could argue neither is bairstow

Joe Root probably the only one who can say he didn't throw it away. Incredible bowling by the Aussies. I think it was a common understanding that the bowling would decide this series. Australia will still have to play well to take this away from England.
