The Ashes

[Josh1873]

England bowlers being run ragged.
Very poor 2nd nnings performance with bat and ball.

Take out the first innings bowling spell, it's been an embarrassment of a performance. 

All talk about building to win the Ashes in Australia this time around - years of planning. And then this performance is turned in. It's pathetic. 

Let's be clear here, Australia are understrength and haven't had to do anything special to win at a canter. They've bowled well, but nothing viscous or sustained unplayable spells. 

I don't think anyone can defend this lackluster performance. Lots of questions, and lots to worry about. And that's just to avoid a whitewash - forget a series win!

Oh I think they've been quite fluid!

My typing is nearly as bad as England's batting. 

Vicious*, obviously

After throwing away a winning position in their last match against India too, that's two batting collapses leading to defeats in the last two games.

My enthusiasm for the rest of the series, like others, has diminished significantly.

But, but, but, Bazball innit.
