Aussies 267 all out. A good bowling performance by England, but a lead of 82 in a low-scoring game is big.
 
England doing everything to slow the play to stop the last over.
Crowd are booing!

Bay 13 going off!
 
Saw the highlights & done the hard work to restrict them to 267 & then we couldn’t last an hour, Malan playing back to a fairly length ball very poor, leach leaving a ball & bowled crap, two openers got decent balls but could’ve been left alone, need a complete revamp of our batting line up

I think we need a clear out of coaches etc, as well as trying to rebuild a team capable of batting in tests.
Root isn't up to it as Captain either.

A couple of decent openers would be a good idea. Over two innings they have amassed a total of 24 runs but, more importantly for the remainder of the batters, faced a grand total of just 82 balls over those two innings.
