I admit to waffling on about this but you are right. I think my thoughts on this stem more from the fact that we seem to go into series abroad very under prepared at times.

I think were probably more prepared in terms of plans, to get our batsman out and the importance of it ,and we were distracted a lot due to the World Cup.


But never understood the argument that has been put on here that they sent their players to county cricket to get extra practice then selected them and that was one of the reasons they were better earlier in the series, the 3 players playing county cricket, Siddle, Bancroft and Labuschagne, two have been poor in the series and like I said the other one even though scoring plenty of runs was not picked.

The best players in this series apart from maybe Broad, played in the World Cup and Australia have not held on to the Ashes by picking red ball specialists which is another argument put on here.

Do you have a list of englands? Smith aside I'm curious to see the comparisons.


They are a bunch of bastards, even more so when they aren't getting their way. Easy when there's no pressure? What's the excuse for his Co cheat Warner?

Most disliked Australian team. Ever.. Brett Lee etc piped up a lot but you felt they always respected England.. This Australian team show no respect.

This team are kittens compared to the Whitewash team in 2013 captained by Clarke. They were vile.
