They won 1 test in 17 before BMAC.
England arent Minnows but they were an incredibly poor side

According to Howstats it was actually 2 wins in 18, both v India. Interestingly in one of them, the recently much maligned Bairstow scored a ton in both innings.
Edit: however your point stands.

So many set batsmen getting out is interesting. I have seen any of the cricket, so would be interesting to know if it was mental errors or the Aussies toughing it out in difficult conditions and getting caught out by a good one.

Neither description fits that well.
It was mostly a batting day but the occasional ball still did something.. the bowlers were never out of it. Good use of the 3rd umpire today by England on the lbw shouts. Despite the sun being out the was still a bit of swing every now and then. Just a good even day

Moeen Ali at three just seems so wrong.
It’s like the Black Caps putting Vettori there
( actually in the era he played this wouldn’t have been a bad idea )

@NTA you get an upvote for Gimli only.

Ali’s technique is miles ahead of Dan’s. Has always looked a natural batsman, just a question of execution and circumstance

England's to lose
Unless the weather fucks it all up
