Harris gone 14-2 At the crease now are Aussies only 2 decent batsman. Smith and Labuschange Get these 2 cheap and Aussies will crumble
He is struggled against Curran atm Ive said all summer Curran should have played as he is different to all our other bowlers
You can tell australia have slacked off having come over to the water and succesfully retained the ashes... either that or the wickets the issue, so i think its possible england have a crap 2nd innings
Pitty he cant when it matters... maybe if he was actually english it would get that extra bit out of him when it does matter.
Better performance. They're not all that with the bat with the exception of obviously Smith who really has done us this series. Class player.
Tbf australias batting was the issue i dont see anything different from the english, plus australia dropping root 3 times tells me england have done no better its more that australias performance has dipped. I fully expect australia to improve and believe england will fail to do aswel 2nd innings .
Im very much a mixture ... im saying what im saying now on the evidence of the full series, however unlike the english fans on here always implying england played badly and failing to credit australia I will if im wrong give full credit to england for at least fighting out a draw in the series despite having failed their objective.
M V has said before that only when their backs are against the wall do England really dig in . A major flaw . Credit to oz , but if we had performed to our absolute best , we may have had a chance of winning back the ashes . As it stands , we have a fair chance of drawing the series and ensuring Australia have not WON a series here since 2001 . Credit to Australia though . For the idea of only banning smith etc for just 1 year ......
