dreadful from roy

Decent ball but far too many of the top order get clean bowled

He can't even play a forward defensive properly. Massive gap between bat and pad.

Doesn't need one in t20 and that's what his game is designed for.
Never a test player.

Stokes gone, and any hope with him.

Bairstow will be bowled no doubt

Well, that's the end of that, just in time for the final session in Germany. Been a crazy series, congrats 9farter and Captain Hobo (wherever you are). This England team are fighters, but ultimately are shattered from a heavy workload this summer, with a number of players simply not good enough at Test level. Steve Smith is just a machine, made all the difference, the bastard!

Dunno what to do for the final Test, might just experiment with some of the players on the fringes now, we've struggled enough at Test cricket over the past few years, might as well be brutal with some of the stragglers

Under the Southern Cross I stand
a sprig of wattle in my hand,
a native of my native land,
Australia, you fucking beauty
