*******s!! For much of the game 2 ordinary sides! Then, when it mattered, England cowered in the corner!! Steve Smith showed how ordinary England's bowling was then the wimps came into bat! As usual, when you really need him, Cooke goes awol!! A few decent spells of FAST bowling and we brown stain our pants, then our slow medium 'couldn't frighten a mouse' bowlers (they ought to switch to crown green bowls!!) were made to look like pussies!!
The truth Rootie is .... for much of the match we were poor (so were they) but when the Aussies begwn to remotely look like a test team we crept into our little burrows!
Unless the batsmen grow a pair and the bowlers are given England conditions it could be 5-0!!
Mostly agree but we lost the Ashes outside a Bristol nightclub a couple of months ago.
