Pathetic once again. Bairstow should be punted, Sibley too. They should have played Mahmood and Parkinson in NZ.

I've said on here for ages about Bairstow being a liability, not played well for a long time now.

If he doesn’t get at least one fifty in the first two tests, he should be binned, but probably will be given all four tests knowing England. He just looks so out of place, it’s weird.

The bowlers must hate the batsmen.

Well deserved for Clive Lloyd, even if it's an anachronism which should be binned.

Aussie bowling attack is superb.
Toying with the Kiwi tail here after picking their batsmen to pieces. Brilliant bowling.

Well, they were. Tail having a little wag now

We're currently awful at red ball cricket!

Pattinson, Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Jye Richardson is an embarrassment of riches fast bowling wise all can clock 140 plus as well

Awful bowling session. The players look like they hate each other

 

[Cool_Blue]

Shambolic. Make Stokes captain asap.

England looking a bit like Everton up until last week.......ok on paper, disjointed on the field.

I had high hopes for us in Australia, but we've been really disappointing, the batting especially. We've actually bowled OK - irrespective of the fact that Australia have posted 400+ scores in both tests batting first - but batting, arguably our stronger suit, has been really poor.

Given the injuries to Ferguson in the first test and now Boult in the second, Wagner and Southee have put in herculean efforts, but batting-wise the likes of Latham, Williamson, Taylor, (yes I know he scored an 80-odd in Perth), Nicholls and Watling, have all under-performed badly.

All that said, Australia has some excellent, world-class quick bowlers. We just have not adapted at all to the quicker pitches in Australia compared to the slower tracks in New Zealand.

I was hoping for williamson to give our bowlers a challenge but he's been poor.

Good to see travis head score a ton in this test

Jonny Bairstow is not very good.

 

[Billysgingham.]

How long is bairstow going to get away with it?
