Wow that was pretty gutless by England. Not even two sessions. Even the 90s black caps would have been ashamed of that.

on a day 5 pitch, with quality fast bowling operating.... don't be too sure we'd do better.
I'll just leave this here

@nzzp That's what I'm saying. That 90's dross was very comparable to what England did. Only with less centuries, usually.

So yeah, overall England should be absolutely ashamed of their efforts. More so than the BCs of that era.

@Cyclops
Remember when McGrath and Gillespie sort of did to us with the bat what Bumrah and Sami just did to England with the bat?Well, we also didn't last 2 sessions or in fact even make a hundred. 71 all out.
But, I guess your point stands, They would have been ashamed of that.

@catogrande What happened - 8 down with a lead of only 180, England had that game in their hands. Although take Root out of that batting order and they will lose every game at the moment.

Newish ball, England on a roll, fast bowlers on v tail enders. So what’s the plan?
No slips, bowl short, few fielders in wicket taking positions, so the plan must have been to leak a few runs, release the pressure and give them some confidence. If those tactics had been employed by Pakistan in those circumstances we’d be thinking match fixing.
Appalling captaincy.

Yeah there are a couple of moments of utter ignominy but that's kind of the point. This is about low as a test team can go without getting bowled out for 26.

That day goes to show how bloody impressive that sixth day in the WTC from the Black Caps was. Similarly poised in similar conditions and they bottled it.
Yes England's batting is a bit of a rabble but it was their bowling that blew it in one mad session.

it's getting very very messy in Australian cricket
They aren't doing to well, and so the coach is in the gun, most especially because it appears the modern player cannot relate to being given a few home truths about their performance.
There is a definite split appearing in the Aus cricket family, with the new guys on one side, and pretty much everyone else on the other.
Cricket Australia have given Langer their dreaded full confidence.

I’m sure they’ll redeem themselves ( assuming it goes ahead ) by putting a fucken awful English side to the sword later this year.

like clockwork, things go wrong over winter when they head overseas, but magically heal themselves when they get back on the flat flat tracks of home
their major problem is their last home series they lost quite badly.

I think they’d beat that Pom team anywhere to be fair. That batting line up in particularly screams ordinary despite one obvious exception ( who isn’t even quite as good as our Kane )

yeah that series should be a bloodbath. But the Aussie order ain't that great either. I just think Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon will take the required number of wickets to make it comfortable.
Smith will get runs, and enough other guys will score along the way to get more than enough

The others guys include Labuschagne and Warner, Root certainly doesn’t have a supporting cast like that.
His strike bowlers are fucken ancient too.
Australia have a few journeymen too but England are full of them.
