This will be 15/17 last tests lost in Oz. Last time we won a match was 2011.

It’s not even a contest anymore and some thought we went there with a chance of winning.

Shocking stat that.

ECB need to start prioritising the red ball game. Enough of franchise cricket and that bastard 100 shite

 

[Binxy]

We've batted and bowled like f***ing morons again

Root played properly, scored a ton.
Stokes and Jacks played properly, 100 run partnership.

Other than that absolute dogshit.

 

[Rokerparkpies]

It really is an embarrassment of a performance. There’s a huge inquest needed from top to bottom.

Root and Branch inquest!!!..and after the post match interviews please don't patronise cricket fans with babbling bullshit!!!

Fielding was pathetic as well

 

[Inside Forward]

The media need to stop pussy footing around them too. Vaughan has been pretty firm but the rest of them are scared to ask proper questions of the players.

I like listening to Sky’s coverage but Hussain and Atherton are weak as piss when it comes to seriously criticising England.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Ah remember when Central contracts were introduced, which would bring a new level if professionalism into top level cricket. Seems to have worked.

It did work initially, but I feel they are too protected now like, they are barely playing for their counties these days.

What if we just don't make it the most important thing in the world?

Just play each series as it comes and don't have stupid trials that clearly don't work.

If they had any sense they would cancel it, just to get the fans back onside

What’ll be really annoying is after the game there’ll be the usual sound bites and absolutely nothing will change.

I forgot about the break.

Just prolongs the agony.

Taking them off

 

[Rammstein]

Frustrating and embarrassing watching us play against the Aussies.

They must be laughing at our ineptness.

 

[Aidan11]

If our players are smart enough, they will sneak out of the ground during this break and head straight for the airport.

Speaking to a few Aussies at work who do my role over there.

Both great lads and we’re excited for the ashes don’t get me wrong, but sounded sincerer when they said that they kinda prefer the BGT with India now.

They appreciate the history etc etc. but said it’s way more competitive.

Not the type of lads to try and be on the wind up, if anything they sounded gutted that’s the way it’s went

They (the players) are their mates. They want to stay in ‘the club, in fact they need to stay in the club to earn their salaries they’re not gonna upset the apple cart. It’s pathetic & sums up how utterly shit the whole structure of England cricket is.
