[font=Courier]SWANN retired hurt feelings 34
TROTT fhc Johnson (flown home crying) 32[/font]

Daz

Ouch! I like the Swann one Burnsy but I won't let myself make fun of Trott's situation (not that I'm suggesting you were either). It is amazing though how spectacularly the wheels (and the doors, bumper bars, mirrors.....) have fallen off this England team. It really has been the series from hell for them and I can't see it improving in the next two games.

Burnwinter

No, I was just being a dick. Good luck to Trott, mental health issues are no joke. And to Swann for that matter, even though he's no Phil Tufnell when it comes to turning on the charm.

Strange tour.

Bold Tone

It is funny though.
Don't watch cricket but, before this series, i thought we were the all-conquering world number one.
WTF happened?
Edit: Actually, please do not answer that!

invisibleman18

That's more like it! Too little too late though.

Burnwinter

We're still in this. Let's see if Haddin can get the first innings lead down to 75 tomorrow morning.

Should drop Bailey for the last test, he's not good enough.

invisibleman18

Who would you bring in instead though? Surely can't go back to Hughes again.

Burnwinter

Dunno, actually, and quite right about Hughes, I don't want him near the side unless he effects a major change of character and consistency.

invisibleman18

First time in the series we're in front and we're throwing this away now.

invisibleman18

That was posted before Bell's first ball. That's certainly that now.

Burnwinter

😆 Just came back here to mention the wickets were tumbling. KP and Stokes at bat on zip apiece …

Burnwinter

Siddle off by centimetres on the run out …

Daz

England really are shit this series. Don't look up for it at all. Can't even be bothered watching any of it.

invisibleman18

As long as Pietersen stays in there's a chance of posting something that at least gives us a chance. And there goes Bairstow as I type so the tail should be wrapped up fairly quickly now. 224 lead now, probably need 300 to have a real good chance at winning. Guess we'll end up about 50 short.

invisibleman18

Guess even that was optimistic. Should be over by tea tomorrow.

Daz

Pietersen throws his wicket away again

invisibleman18

Can always rely on England to find a new low when it shouldn't be possible to go any lower. We just gave up today when we had a real chance.

Burnwinter

Truly spineless performance from England, but the target's still not an easy one. You just have this feeling Australia will reel it in though.

Daz

Yep I'm certain this is going to be a clean sweep. England just don't look interested in playing a proper test match.

Tony Montana

You can tell Australia are better cricketers and have a better cricket culture in general because when they win the Ashes they blow England out of the water. When England beat Australia it's always rocky.
