Only 1 LBW in the match so far.

Be patient, park your egos, cut out the silly wafts outside off stump, see Starc off & there's runs to be had. Simple !......Unfortunately l don't think we have it in our game. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

Would be surprised if we make a game of this, going to need to bat very well to set them any sort of a target.

 

Be very England to lose by an inns here.

Crawley, Pope can't be trusted to bat a situation.

 

Brook is another one, really good batsman but has a habit of chuckling he wicket away.

I know he's the best in the world, but surely Root is the blueprint of how to build an innings. 

It seems not one England player has taken any notice of what he does.The general mantra seems to be, '...But it's just the way l play'.

All of the above being said, did alternative methods of play fare any better in the last three away Ashes series?

 

Played 15, lost 13, won 0.

Fair point. Test Series wins abroad are not easy & seemingly less common, especially in India (although SA just won there !)& Australia.

It's the manner of our defeats that is painful. We dont just lose, we lose very badly. 

 

The next Ashes Series Oz will more than likely be rebuilding. Probably no Lyon, Starc, Hazlewood, Smith, Boland & Cummins is now 32. So there is hope !
