We couldn't beat an egg at the moment, England will throw caution to the wind and have a go this test but it's too late. An appalling gutless performance

Australia have added three to the squad I’ve never heard of. They’ll probably go OK…

England need to fo back to using South Africans. That formula worked well.

Really enjoyed watching the sheer joy of a well deserved Bangladeshi win in NZ.

Applying for a Visa forthwith.

This Hobart Test looks fun. Should always be a permanent Ashes fixture with Perth and Brisbane competing for the 5th test.

Well, how to keep an Englishman quiet.

Moving on, Cindy and her government have decided Omicron is more important than cricket.

About time Cindy and Mark McGowen found a new worry and let cricket be the winner.

No surprises here. Institutionalised racism and arrogance.

What a load of crap. Typical BBC clutching at straws and drawing parallels with racism to excite the reader.

Don't over complicate it. Quite simply England's bowlers and the bowling selections weren't as good as Australia's. Australia has big bowling depth right now and we're able to restrict England's runs and take 20 wickets all but once.

Australia's batting isn't that great and looked good because Englands bowling was sub standard. Not ideal when you are relying on a 39 year old to spearhead your attack.

It was a shame for England their black carribean bowler Joff was out injured.

I still expect the poms to win the Ashes.
