Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. What a ****. See off Starc and Cumings on a wicket doing nothing - and then Pope does that. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
Well, will be an incredible come back to win this one and keep the ashes alive.

More controversy around snicko but doesn’t hide the fact England just aren’t at the level required at the moment.

I put this impending defeat more on the selectors than the players.

I'm reluctant to criticise Jacks because he's just not a front line spinner. The fact that he's bowled the most overs sums up the ridiculous decision making from the selectors.

Just ended up lobbing long-hop pies to a legside field. I truly could have gone down to our local cricket club here in York in June and seen better slow-bowling. But as you say, not his fault. That said - I ****ing stayed up till 5am in bed watching this ****e. More fool me.

i expected nothing less and before the tour started i was amazed by the optimism .The batsmen show little to no discipline / judgement and the bowlers with the exception of Archer are not capable of hitting the right spot over and over again .
 
Not sure the Aussies can even make fun of this series, it's just pathetic and sad.

If the guys don't get the same treatment when coming home as the women did, somethings wrong.

It's actually not been a bad effort by England this test match. Had we selected a proper spinner we might have won this one.
 
Put up a bit of fight in 4th innings but was never going to be enough. Shame couldn’t at least make 4th and 5th test have something riding on it
