Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field, can't take the criticism from the local press, these guys are most likely the worst touring team we've sent down under!
At least between 1990 and early 2000's we had the excuse of playing against the undisputed best team in the world, this current Aussie team isn't that good..

#shambles!



Can you imagine what South African will do to that Australia top six? Smith, Bailey, Watson? ****ing hell. Rodgers even.
Only Clarke is any good, they will more than likely be beaten soundly.

If I was in charge Ballance wouldn't play for England again this calendar year, useless ****. Let's see how a punishment like that focuses their minds a bit.
 
here i thought this was actually a tennis thread. I don't watch tennis but my old ma does. you lot are like a bunch of old women.....
 
Was watching this and claimed 'only a matter of time before we win' when we took the 9th wicket.

Should have remembered this is England I'm watching. Expects of snatching defeat from jaws of victory!

Ravi only bowling 5 overs for 19 yet Stokes bowling 10 for 72 is terrible captaincy.
 
Just don't understand how it's all gone so horribly wrong <doh>

Simply put, I think most of this team are fast approaching (if not already past) their best before dates!
I like Cook but I think he's been found out as a Captain, wouldn't drop him but he needs to get some advice from our past successful Captains, be more proactive in the field, look to take wickets not contain.
Some senior players need to be dropped, we need to get in some new blood and have them ready for when the Aussies arrive in 2015, no way are they leaving with the Urn!

Is there any decent new blood out there?

I'd bring Morgan back in for a start, IMHO he was jettisoned too soon!
For now, stick with Carberry, he did OK in the tests and deserves a chance during the summer.
IF we can get Trott back, that would be a bouns and the dropping of Prior will hopefully give a kick up the backside, still the best WK/Batsman we've got.

Cook
Carberry
Trott
KP/Bell
Bell/Morgan
Root
Prior
Bresnan
Broad
Rashid
Anderson

Bring in Finn for Bresnan when he's back on form.
Keep an eye on Tudor, boys got pace but needs a bit more coaching, is line and length needs tightening up!
