Are we meant to celebrate clinging on for a draw in a dead rubber atc3 nil down?

The pitch at Hobart could be perfect for your seamers. Dunno why CA chose that venue, I would have picked Darwin instead.

It'd like the bad old days. Celebrating hanging on for a draw.

I'm guessing this series will see the end of a few careers. Burns, Hameed, Leach, Crawley (a random 77 does not save him) to name a few. Stokes and Buttler may be thinking that only playing shorter formats is the way forward.

It doesn't strike as a team which has much cohesion or togetherness. A rebuild is needed. The question is who comes in as we are not blessed with batting at the moment.

In White ball cricket, he is one of Englands best ever players. He is okay in the red ball format.

I can’t see England sacking off three of the top order in one go. I certainly think they will persevere with Hameed. We didn’t have the best preperation for this tour to be honest. I do think had Archer been fit, he could have done well down under.

Hardly a dead rubber, the Aussies would have been after a 5-0 drubbing. England at least showed some fighting battling spirit in the test just gone.

The bottom of the barrel called, mate. They can't even see you down there.

Give over, I bet you were exited at the prospect of a 5-0 drubbing as much as what Senna is when I post on this site.

Which bits am I wrong about?

Are you suggesting the Aussies weren’t bothered at going 4-0 up?
Are you saying England didn’t show any fight and spirit?
