What's happened to Ben Duckett?
Thought he was set for a big series but has crumpled like a wet deck chair
Pope is and has always been crap. The odd ton against category B teams has somehow kept him afloat
Jamie Smith looks scared af
Only one ton from the rest of our big boys
Stinking crying shame

It sums up our naivety with the bat.

Crawley talking absolute wham, knock it off fella, just sums up this joke of a test cricket team. Just come out and say we’re garbage and have been tonked,
Supreme arrogance and detached from reality.
The lot of them have been totally outclassed & embarrassed, by a team just playing proper test cricket.
Consistent line and length from the Aussie bowlers, dot balls nearly every ball and batsmen who don’t try and smash/sweep/hook every single bloody delivery.

They have collectively bought into their own version of test cricket, which is largely okay in England against weaker teams, but they are away, against a very tough and disciplined team, no weak bowlers and a very strong winning mentality.
There are some good players in that England team, but their attitude is all wrong for the team they are facing. There is no plan B, hit and no recriminations for poor cricket and an obvious lack of preparation.
Time for coach to go, probably time for Stokes too, he needed to be fully fit and on top of his game - and he has not been.

Another morning waking up to some absolutely dreadful shots to give away wickets
Duckett's probably the worst of the lot, but followed closely by Brook.

We don’t need to see anymore from Harry brook
It sums up what Aggers said: it's so one-dimensional and there's no composure. I gave up on this series very early on because we aren't smart enough.

There’s a few who are done, they shouldn’t be near a test side.
ECB need to take action now, the management team are done. Arrogance and a total lack of preparation or semblance of test match tactics.
They have tried to play test cricket this test, still pathetic but slightly better.
Well done lads, you got to day 5…..
If you get bowled behind your legs attempting a reverse sweep you should automatically be dropped for the next test match.
Lack of preparation, lack of accountability and a lack of competition for places
Get shut of McCullum, Key, and the idiot selector. Ask Ponting would he like it. If he says no, offer it to Langer.
Stokes remains captain, but drop the idiots who try and play empty head shots like Brook, Crawley, and Pope.
Oh, and pick a wicket keeper who can actually keep wicket
No, no, no. You cannot have Ponting.
Rob Key is an orc who only cares about when the next free buffet is coming. "Meat's back on the menu boys!".
