So far this series:

Australia 1415 runs, losing 39 wickets. 36.28 per wicket
England 1126 runs, losing 60 wickets. 18.77 per wicket.

18.77 per wicket. Let that sink in.

Take out Root and Malan and it must be around single figures!

Nearly. Take out their 455 and reduce the wickets to 54 and the average per wicket is 12.43.

These people get paid to play cricket.

Wonder which way we’ll go from here. Will we rip it all up and make the sweeping changes needed or hide behind PR statements and carry on the same way.

The latter, for sure. As I said. Just hope Root doesn’t batter a double ton on the last test and give the ECB something to hang onto.

It amazes me how we seem perpetually focused on an Ashes series down under. Two years of rotation and ‘planning’ to end up with an opening partnership consisting of a bloke with incredibly low hands who is in no way suited to Aussie conditions and a 23 year-old who is only in consideration because his dad is rich.

One of those management speak-isms. Why can they not just admit they haven't been good enough?

Publicly berating your team has very little upside, especially when you are stuck with that group for another 2 games.

Australians cannot win with class. It's just not in their DNA.

I must have missed seeing them doing the sprinkler dance then.

But Australians can lose with dignity. For example, in 2005 at the Oval, the team stayed on the ground as a unit during Englands massive victory celebrations and presentation of the Ashes. England Captain was on his own today at the MCG.

What a beautiful win and to see a Victorian bury the Poms at the G! Priceless.
These Pommie tears will be very satisfying.
Let’s get that 5-0 again.
