Root sustains a decent average for himself but match winning innings not delivered, unlike his counterpart.

[Randall]

Scores of less than 350 simply won't win test matches, England are slow learners.

[Captain Hobo]

Broad blatantly throwing the ball into the pitch again there

[Captain Hobo]

onfield and 3rd umpires both having an absolute shocker on the same ball

Mitch Marsh given out LBW when it was missing leg by a mile, 3rd ump overturns it due to a non-existent inside edge.

A good warm up for Lakeshite tonight

[Randall]

And the end result England absolutely in the shit again.
What a wretched tour.
England's batsman need to watch and learn how to play test cricket.
Fancy 50s achieve nothing.

[9farter]

you need real pace if you wanna win series in Oz, can't trouble guys who grew up on concrete pitches with medium pace.

Roots figures may look OK but they would be a lie.
Cooks are going to be OK on the back of one knock.
Nobody should be fooled.

There's lies, damned lies and statistics. The bigger picture is always worth looking at and for that I use David Steele against the Windies. Got a load of chops and steaks from that series

[Randall]

the old silver fox.

[Kimmy]

Imagine allowing Mitch Marsh to bat like fucking Bradman.

I would fancy my chances off of some of Moeens shite.

[Randall]

Absolute fucking shambles

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The embarrassment-ometer is reading high... smh

Root is a useless captain and hasn't got a clue. Think this will be the last hurrah for some England old-timers.

[Randall]

At least England have been consistent.
Complete shit all the way through.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Root hospitalised. Intravenous courage being administered as I type.

He fielded for 3 hours and batted for 2 in 43 degree heat with Gastro yesterday, then batted for 2 more hours today.

[M H]

All the predictions of a 5-0 whitewash got it terribly wrong!

Indeed. Although not heard of any other snowflakes melting - But I take your point.

No doubt Root is a top bloke, but he's not a captain. His cheeky chappie routine is all well and good when we're hammering sides at home, but he looked fucking clueless when in full battle looking down a 5 nil arse fucking. Mike Brearley, he is not.

Anyway, the convicts can shove the facsimile of the little urn up their arses.

Barry Humphries is a cunt.

[9farter]

4-0 gee that was easy

4-0 gee that was easy

Might be different over here next time.
