The one thing I asked was not to be humiliated on this one particular day.

An embarrassment, and killing interest in Test cricket in the process.

Wouldn't it be nice just for once in this series to wake up and see headlines saying, "Australia Collapse" or "England Batsmen Dominate on Day 1" but no we wake up to the same old sh1te, England All Out for less than 200, Australia making batting look easy......so much for the frank and honest discussion after Adelaide......

Might as well pack their bags and come home now as there isn't a cat in hell's chance of this being anything other than a 5-0 whitewash.......
 
50 ducks in Test matches for England this year: Which I think is an England record.

6 Burns
4 Lawrence, Sibley, Bairstow, Hameed, Anderson and Robinson
3 Broad and Sam Curran
2 Buttler, Crawley, Archer and Bracey
1 Root, Leach, Stone, Wood, Moeen and Bess

Most ducks by team in 2021 Tests

50 England
34 India
23 Bangladesh
23 West Indies
23 Zimbabwe

We are truly a very poor test team.
 
A decent effort from England today.sees Australia at 181-6. Superb bowling by Anderson, 3-24 off 18 overs.
