Real lost cause now and can't be bothered even to check the score, real shame as I love the sport.
BBL compensates though, love it.

Mason crane bowled more overs in the Australian first innings than in his entire Hampshire T20 season
With you all the way. Agnew one of the remaining squirearchy is at home with his wife who has had breast cancer treatment this year. In her latest tweet she is hoping he'll be with TMS in NZ as she has had enough of him. Good news for all concerned.
Luckily I only woke once last night, between innings, and briefly listened some bloke called Ed talking to Ebony. Worked better than a sleeping tablet.

Gave up after series was lost so much wrong with how English cricket is run by the people that run it

They have 9 centuries scored against our 3!
They scored as many centuries in their 1st innings in this test as England have in 9 innings!
I think we need to change the rules.
Next time in Australia they bat first and we then have 3 innings in which to try to beat their score.
And also they can only play one fast bowler.
We may just have a chance then.

In 2 year's time with Stokes back and a decent spinner we'll be giving them a pasting on our green tops. And so it goes...

There suggestions that we have a couple of young batsmen coming through from the A tour but no mention of bowlers. We must just hope that Cook regains his form because as the saying goes form is temporary class is permanent. We the need 2 fast bowlers and a NO 2 and 3 batsmen and start all over again. Would it help to stop or restrict the signing of overseas players as most successful county teams have a strike bowler and leading batsmen from over seas in their ranks.
Glad I never watched one bit of the tour. It's not just about their conditions ... nailbiting series over here, 9/10 times we're slaughtered over there. And that's with the Aussies out of love with test cricket, we're told. They are hardened winners, England are weak.

That'll be Joe Root on a drip all night coming out to bat and bagging another half century. ...

All done. Anderson doesn't bother to appeal, and Root doesn't come out to bat again.
