Ooooooooohhhh!

Of course that means Silverwood will be saying to himself he was right not to pick Wood last test…

Good to see Mark Wood bowling at his best.

I just tune in and Smith is bowled!

Jimmy!

Anderson has been bowling so well, he deserved that

Here they come, reeling me back in

England need 250-300 here and that’s simply not going to happen.

Four down by the close at this rate. Crawley isn’t a test opener and never will be.

Woke up to a small Ray of hope. That was soon snuffed out!

You called it!

Grim.

Yet again, the only possibility of avoiding total humiliation is for Root and Stokes to produce a miracle.

Which they obviously won't.

But even if they do, it's just not cricket, is it?

Yup, marvel wonder victories are satisfying after 3 at least reasonable innings. One wonder partnership among a pile of turd innings is not what cricket fans tune in for do they?

Omnishambles.

Oh dear

Is there a record for the shortest time for an ashes series to be decided?

Another 5-0 sweep for Australia is looking increasingly likely.

At this rate they’ll Get a spanking against NZ and WI too.

The arrogance of this is amazing. NZ have been top rated in all 3 forms of the game for years.

Oh you’re reading that completely wrong. NZ is a given, WI a bit more balanced but can’t see them getting much from either test series.

Woakes should have played in that test. As a top order batter

What an utter, utter shambles. Need a complete reset.

Seen some interesting suggestions on changes for the game. One is that there should be eight county teams playing a higher standard of four day cricket and managed by the ECB and Test venues.

The Hundred and the blast continues as is.

I’d buy into that.

lol

It's hard to argue the current county setup has any sporting merit left to it.
