    @Chris-B Exactly. It is unbelievably dumb to just play the same game regardless of all circumstances. They basically had as good a chance as they were going to get served up to them on a platter, and were too bloody stupid to take advantage of it.

    Will Jacks seems to be Englands Michael Bracewell. Batting low and probably not test standard as a spinner. Seems to be the done thing to have one of those in a team these days.

    These two are about to make Oz bat again at least. Amazing what can happen when they put Bazball away and actually play test cricket.

    At least England are going to make Australia bat again. It's not been a total capitulation.

    Learning from Greaves and Roach?

    Oz going with the same short pitched approach that didn't work for us.

    Will be too little too late in this test for England unless a miracle happens.

    Well done Neser. Nabbed a Michelle on his home turf.

    I've been out since about 3.30 so missed the carnage. Just saw highlights and Smith's catch was spectacular. What a freak.

    He’s no Glenn Phillips but it was a decent effort I guess. Hardly a freak

    Well done on another Ashes hammering, I thought Stokes and Jack were doing ok before Neser struck !

    Australia are going to knock these off in double quick time.

    Great news for England. They will be able to get a full round of Golf in tomorrow.

    Lord Botham not holding back on England's shambolic approach to these Tests.

    England get a couple of wickets. Too little, too late?

    Aussie need 24 runs, England 8 more wickets.

    70 more runs and England would have been right in this.

    Smith is smashing them around the ground.

    Aussie need 15 to win.

    Australia are not without weaknesses but they’re lucky they’re playing the dumbest team in test history

    Yep, Bazball, and the coach, have turned into a mindless cult of positivity.

    England's field placements are just bizarre.

    "Just take your pillow, get back to your mark, and bowl, fluffybunny"

    That's what I would have said, were I Smith.

    Love the niggle
