wasnt there an england top order batsman staying in and not scoring quickly only few years back, and i remember everyone was really hammering him for it .wasit nick compton?

compton was completely nailed in a home test v NZ but the situation in that game was completely different
ie eng miles on top & needing to score quickly to force a win

Back in 1967 Geoffrey Boycott scored 246 not out against India ... we won the test ... but was subsequently dropped for selfish play
How we could do with him now!

Bayliss should have gone 2 years ago. A number on here have said it.

He's presided over some of the worst batting you will ever see. The selection of Roy (who's encouraged to bat in one day mode) was the final straw.

was pad first but long way down and maybe outside off

Then change the line up a little. Bring in the number 6 to open if you need fast runs

No thinking outside the box anymore, its all robotic

Mark Wood
England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

I popped downstairs in the break and batting coach Graham Thorpe was there telling the players, "come on lads, if it's 270 or under we can chase this..."

Yes, a bit more realistic

All this effort from our bowlers is totally pointless

Might as well pack up and go home

By:

wondersobright When: 23 Aug 19 17:37

the ashes are gone, forget it

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 23 Aug 19 17:40

Its going to be weird betting on the last 2 test matches knowing our lot have put up little fight when we're still live

We are going to lose this 4-0 and I foresee two absolute hammerings in the 4th and 5th tests

Totally dilutes the World Cup win, if this was Australia after winning the World Cup you'd be sure they'd be on top of the Ashes as well

Australia lost the 2015/16 Ashes a few months after winning the WC

Angoose When: 23 Aug 19 17:42

But you just know that the ECB will claim that "the players were emotionally drained after the World Cup".
Would that be the same World Cup that Australia played in, having just one fewer match whilst being 10,000 miles away from home ?

By:

SontaranStratagem When: 23 Aug 19 17:46

Cheers, Tom, yeah totally forgot that one

They were playing away from home though to soften that blow, and they did win a couple of tests as well (3-2?)

This lot have just totally handed Australia a way back into every test match thus far

this is one of the most severe kickings ive ever seen!

By:

tomtimtum When: 23 Aug 19 17:49

England realised after the last World cup that you can't win anything by playing Test match players in the white ball game and hopefully this series will confirm the opposing view, you can't win red ball matches with white ball players

By:

peckerdunne When: 23 Aug 19 17:50

It's bleedin obvious, England can't win nowt without the Irish............
