Thankfully Malan is showing what a good player he is even if he might have a spikey personality  :o

pope out the same way he has been against spin with men round the bat, those of us backing talent and potential are left deflated.

It’s disappointing more than anything….it’s a good pitch, bit of spin but not major, and good batting conditions.

I suppose…..Bairstow could return with the gloves…it’s slim pickings for any other batters

Did anyone seriously expect anything different. Our batting flaws have been highlighted for years, against teams far inferior to this Aussie side. What do people expect when you have people like Ashley Giles and Chris Silverwood in charge of things.

ECB need to start again. Get Strauss back in charge of the whole thing, and get a coaching team in who deserve it, not just because they once played a few games for England. It’s very much jobs for the boys at present.

He has been with the Lions tour now returned. They have coverage with Bairstow as a keeper batter so Foakes would not be there.

But so far Foakes has showed he can bat well and his keeping will save us runs.

Time for a change I think and get him in for our summer.

Is it too harsh to say that Australia just want it more?

It was so predictable what I was going to wake up to, was hoping for maybe a Ton from either Root or Malan but after that most likely a procession of wickets.

The fact is they are quicker when bowling, have better batters in the top 5 and they catch so I will be looking out for the job advertisement for head of planning and strategy for our cricket team as they current one seems to have missed these vital points when planning or 2 years for this ashes series.

Mo Bobat gets away with so much in my opinion, his name never gets mentioned because he is in the background but his job title is Performance Director for Men’s Cricket.

Whether you trust Leach or Bess or not, not playing a genuine spinner on this pitch is ridiculous.

With Adelaide's history and the groundsman's comments it's so bad

Absolutely, we should of had Leach. Last game on a really green wicket ok leave him out for a seamer, here everyone is right arm over and Lyon is turning it a bit.

We’ve got selection back to front for two games

What’s actually improved under silverwood? He’s very good at resting unnecessarily

Atm all the players are under enormous pressure, need big performances, can't see where those are going to come from.
How many times will Root and Malan make 60-70?

We are just a bang average to poor side.
We currently have one world class player in Root. Stokes is capable of brilliance but is he consistent enough to be called a true great?
Broad and Anderson are coming towards the end. I like Robinson a lot,still think Crawley has something to offer.

I think prioritising white ball but to the huge detriment of county championship is something that will affect our test team now for a long time,sadly.

Aus on the other hand have have quite a few quality players right now.

Yep too much on Root. Top class player but he is skipper, carrying the batting, bowling etc

And to compound issues it looked to me like Stokes is injured??
