It's astounding to think these guys are earning well in excess of £500k a year plus trimmings, for being as competent as your average MP!
An awful lot of Tory MP'S are showing a very flat bat to very accurate bowling atm.

Whilst the AUssies deserve their party it must be a bit of a hollow victory

Cronulla beach U 10's would have given them a sterner test

Deepest, darkest Sussex
If you’re going to lose might as well get it over with.

Roll on the T20s starting next Saturday.

Jesus as woeful a batting display ever. Seems we have concentrated so much in the short forms of the game we have forgotten how to teach players to play test cricket

The way some of England players got out was an insult to supporters. Appreciate it is up to top order batters and Stokes hooking to deep square leg summed up attitude. Instead of showing fight Woakes and Robinson dismissals could have been on village green.

Incredible. Serious questions need to be asked about the whole structure of English cricket. Our players are spineless and those with and real quality have gone backwards (except, oddly, Root). Do we even coach them?!

That would be a waste of resources, not much left after pay packets and travel expenses.

can't see any sponsors queueing up!

In cases like today’s dismissals, I really don’t think that argument holds up.

The crap shots on show, would have been crap shots in any form of the game.
