Another nail in our coffin!
When the media and pundits use the phrase “Bottling it” in sports events I think almost all the time it’s more about talent and individuals or teams just not good enough, but when it comes to Ashes series away i personally think it’s about Bottling it, it seems nearly every time we go down under we crumble, let’s face it,this is not a great Aussie team they just seem to handle the occasion better, but you never know we might win the next 3:emoticon-0100-smile

Well,winning the next three would be a long call.
I just think the culture in the Uk has changed and we aren't ready to compete with anyone.

Nothing new unfortunately
Worst fears coming true. We are witnessing the demise of the bazball strategy. As for the batting....some great bowling from the Bigheads...but,surely it's the end of Pope. I'm awaiting the smoke spirals. Bethell perhaps?

So utterly predictable. Listened to an hour of it at 3am and Stokes & Brooks were going well, albeit at a snail's pace.
I then had a dream we closed the day on 350-4.

Imagine my complete lack of surprise when I checked the score at 0730 <doh>
