We need to appoint a new captain to take the team forwards, and a new batting coach

Australia are certainly the better team. Would be nice to try and draw the series in the final match.

They aren't though are they? They were saved time and again by cheat Smith and the French geezer. We couldn't be saved in the batting dept. but our bowling was fantastic. They won by two batters.

The right side won it. Time to rebuild.

This.
A complete overhaul like they did for the one day squad.
New captain definitely needed and Bairstow, Roy and Butler should not play test cricket again.

One of whom scored more than the entire team in their 2nd innings!

Yes, Root is no good as captain, we need some real change,as a test side we are very poor

He appears to let things drift, doesn't make things happen. Would like to see an aggressive captain.

Their bowlers, Cummings and Hazlewood are better than any of ours as Anderson out. Their Batsman Smith may have been involved in sandpaper scandal but he`s done his time and is brilliant.

Well done you Aussies but we`ll hope to equal the series in the last test.

Smith was the difference. Almost impossible to get him out and our team of one day champions had no patience to offer resistance to an excellent test bowling side. I think it tells the true story of our ineptitude of our test side when the England innings of the series was by Stokes with an innings of great magnitude any fifty over winning innings would be proud of.

Video killed the radio star?

Bish bash killed the test star!
