switched on after eating my tea to see we were batting & it was 0-2. Now all that registered was that Roy had been moved back up to ope before i suddenly thought "aaaggghhhhhh 0 runs 2 wickets FFS" so no we cannot do it .
umm we will have to disagree on this as from my pov hardly any of them show the discipline required to be a successful test match batsmen.
Ah well. These teams are so similar but one man has been the difference. Take smith out of this Australia team and England win the ashes probably. Lot of work for England to do for England over next 2-3 years really because there is only 2 really consistent batsmen in that team in root and stokes. The rest are very average
I thought the Aussie bowling attack were more dangerous than Englands. Michael Vaughan on TMS said England went into too many days in this series needing a big performance from someone with either bat or ball, they were under pressure for the majority of the series.
The problem is England put all their eggs in the World Cup basket, at the detriment to Test cricket. Bayliss needs to go
