      Poor coach, poor captain and no Test quality players coming through (certainly batting wise). It's what you get for neglecting Test cricket for more than 5 years now.

      Sad when you compare England to how the Aussies have applied themselves just weeks after winning the T20 World Cup and how India played in recent tours to Australia and England.

      Another shocking and inept performance by the top order batsmen, victories will not come much easier than this for the Aussies !

      I’m not sure if it’s as simple as applying themselves, I think our lot just aren’t as good as theirs

      I think 4(?) of their top order average over 50 and one of those very close to 60 in test cricket
      We only have one, Root. The rest average in the 30s
      Simply not good enough I’m afraid at that level

      Too interested in developing techniques to suit the shorter and more lucrative game , not interested in batting for long periods of time bit of a shitshow really test cricket at the moment

      I think you’re probably right, but it has to be noted too that the ecb have driven the white ball game too and given the players that green light to focus on the short versions of the game

      Test cricket overall has changed, it’s become a quicker game, to its detriment, but England are facing a long time of mediocrity in the longer format I’m afraid

      Whitewash incoming for England.

      Don't seem to have a settled side and constantly changing the team means there is no consistency there.

      TBH I think England are only worth a 3 Test series against the Aussies, they have simply shown to be out of their depth at this level.

      All the excuses coming in now it is as if we had never been to Australia and didnt understand the pitches the climate or living out of Hotels.
      Simply not good enough and not enough balls to put up a fight unlike the Aussies who were clearly prepared and ready for battle.

      An absolute farcical tour from England.  Long cricket in this country appears to be at the very bottom of the pecking order.  English cricket needs to decide if it's a game you play over five days or if you play over 10 overs of 10 balls!

      County cricket on its arse any wonder this tour has been a farce. Might say 4-0 but it was as a good as whitewash and weather saved further blushes . Silverwood and Giles can remove themselves

      Turned on the telly and thought wow, you guys are a chance 1-76. You then proceeded to lose 10-56.

      Unbelievable how you guys crumbled again!

      4-0  damn, if it wasn't for a 7 over rain delay, would have been 5-0 !!!

      Absolutely shocking news - such an iconic figure and far too young. My god, he's going to leave such a hole in the world of sport not just cricket.
