Supposedly not bad. I like how they've embraced the banter series with Malan bowling leggies, the premier seam bowler chucking down offies in shades and Buttler only taking worldies.

Haha. In the 2nd test match of an Ashes series. Shame Sibley isn't still around to bowl some double bouncers

That's my favourite moment of the series so far.  :D

Warne said that he drifted it more than any other spinner in world cricket, and I just saw that he turned it more than Leach too.  ;)

He was an off-spinner in age-group cricket.

When he’s the best spinner we have available.

Now got a better average in Oz than Swann!

When Root gets hit what's stopping him walking off retired hurt and us sending the night watchman out??

I don’t think anything is stopping him, but he wanted to be out there with Stokes.
 We needed something to hit back with, on the green seamer Jimmy or Broad should of played and Wood Here for some pace.

If only….if only…we could get out of this just 0-1 and regroup

Yes  :) we need some help. I don’t have us to win this series I just find it frustrating we can’t get the selection right to help the team.

If we lose after the right guys are picked on a seamer ok fine.

It’s frustrating

I did have a moment of hope this morning but once again quick wickets and low scores from our batsmen.

The selections always look wrong when you’re a fairly average side on a real
Run of losses.

Given that Australia haven't won a series in England since 2001 and that England have won once in Australia since 1987, there does need to be a degree of realism as to how hard winning an Ashes series away from home is in the modern era.  What is disappointing is that we really haven't given ourselves a chance with the selection decisions over the bowling unit and dropped catches / wickets from no balls in the field.

The biggest lesson to be learnt I think is from New Zealand who produce a great site on a fraction of the financial and playing resources of England.  They make sure they get all of the basics right which really isn't the case with England as a red ball side
