So it would seem. Wonder if any team has managed to lose by ‘an innings and...’ from a first innings position of 365-4 ever before, because that’s what we’re on target to do! Ridiculous.Originally Posted by macstheman
Really hope this doesn’t prove to be the ruination of Joe Root - England’s most accomplished batsman for years imo.
Be difficult to recover from and how often have we seen great English players suffer when given the captaincy? Gower, Botham, Strauss, Cook and now Root all spring easily to mind. Only Atherton and Vaughan, in recent years, seem to have managed to maintain their playing performances when made captain.
Maybe England should just play Steve Smith in Perth.

England in the brink of defeat. Only James Anderson left. 211/9.
Still 48 runs short of just attempting to match Australia's 662 opener.

There we go. 0-3. I think we will have seen the last of some of the old guard players when this series ends

And it's over. Australia win by an innings and 40+ runs.
The only question to be answered is:
Will it be another 5-0

Just maybe they will be rested for the 4th test. See if the reserves can do a better job.

As rA suggested 'how the hell can you lose by an innings after being 360odd for 4 in the first innings'?? It's time they paid them on performances instead of on these guaranteed contracts NO MATTER HOW CRAP YOU ARE!! Cooke is probably the highest earner but based on performances in recent Ashes series would get diddley squat and quite right too!!
They have shamed the nation. Time they suffered public humiliation.....bring back the stocks!!
