England's field placements are just bizarre.

Both sides need 8.

That made me chortle.

Are Oz in a hurry cos there’s bad weather on the way ?

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

Love the niggle

Their captain is asking if he can have more on the fence on the off side.

Uh yeah bro. No laws against it

[NTA]

Another 8 wicket win

Weatherald looks like a good one.

But it's only England

[sparky]

All over. Finished with a six.

Australia 2 England 0

Three to play.

Australia with one hand on the Ashes and eyeing up a whitewash.

[sparky]

England might win a Test. They might draw one.

But they are a weaker team in every conceivable respect.

Despite some fight today, they are being dominated.

[MN5]

Beefy will be furious with that shit

Well done Oz. Gave them a deserved hiding.

[sparky]

Australia professional as ever. Not their best team we've seen but full of fighters and with enough quality and consistency.

England chaotic and short of good players.

[sparky]

A master class from Mitchell Starc and Alex Carey in this game.

Second string bowling attack.

New opening pair effectively.

Cummins and Hazlewood are apparently fit and ready. Lyon probably comes back in.

Good luck England

Bloody rough on Neser if they drop him. Surely they won't make THREE bowling changes ?

If anything its the other team who need to get new guys in.

McCullum claims England were over prepared.

Absolute clown.

@sparky Fuck. Me. Dead.

England, you need to fire your coach immediately. And probably replace any selectors while you're at it.

I was listening to Agnew on the radio today and he went through the fact the are no players challenging the established lineup and nobody in the wider squad designed to, besides a couple of spare bowlers.

I reckon if you got Nasser, Broad, and Vaughan off commentary future they're be as effective with a week's prep.

@NTA Freddie Flintoff, coach of England Lions, and Graeme Swann, in charge of the MCC Young Cricketers Patheay, are the former players waiting in the wings. But neither has been in post for that long.
