They managed to hold out till the close of play, a last wicket stand so far of 61 in just over 8 overs. 325 is at least something to defend and we might add a few more in the morning |  |

The final wicket made it look not so bad. But other than Stark that’s a weak bowling line up. Pope, brooks, Crawley, Atkinson , smith and jacks all gave it away |  |

Why is it, our players look like world beaters until they step off the plane to Australia |  |

Perhaps because they are really not very good ? |  |

| Ashes on 11:18 - Dec 6 with 376 views | dirk_doone | To keep going there and getting thrashed 5-0 is ridiculous. Isn't there any way, we could just stop going there (and India)? Maybe there should be a 2-tier test system with promotion and relegation. When the Ryder Cup became too one-sided, they changed it to Europe v America, which is more competitive. I guess there is no team in the cricket world we could join forces with. The other European nations aren't very good at cricket. It could at least be reduced to a 3 match series. Do the Aussies really need to see the Poms humiliated in 5 different cities? I guess the answer to that from them would be, yes. [Post edited 6 Dec 11:27]

They hardly looked like world beaters. They stepped off the plane from New Zealand, where they were thrashed 3-0 in a 1- day series. The result would have been the same if it had been a test series. It was pretty obvious they weren't going to do any better in Australia. The England cricket team is like a football team that draws its home games and loses away. [Post edited 6 Dec 11:41]

| Ashes on 12:14 - Dec 6 with 311 views | HytheFerrytales | Beyond Miserable Too reliant on Stokes and Root At least 3 of our top 7 batters should go to their hotel bathroom tonight, look in the mirror and give themselves an uppercut. Wicketkeeping and catching....no words Wood a great bowler but is the Ross Stewart of English cricket..hardly ever available. Archer sadly is not what he was. Other seamers are rookies...Australia bad place to be a rookie. No quality spinner to call on. McCullum comes over as a Billy Big Blx lacking a Plan B. |  | |  |

Is it really? That’s terrible, I know we haven’t won a series since 86 but didn’t realise we hadn’t won a test for that long. |  |
