The International Cricket Thread

And within a couple of overs of the afternoon the pressure has well and truly been released. Awful. And Leach on straight after lunch? To defend?

Think the light will well and truly be shone on Silverwood and Root's decision making after this debacle of a series.  Too many inexplicable decisions being made.

 Stokes gone for 11. Still 36 needed to make them bat again. I'm not convinced that the Aussies will need to bat again in this match.

[Nev]

Decided to stay up tonight.

Decided to go to bed now.

[Risso]

Root gone.

61-7. Shameful.

[Nunkin1965]

Bloody hell.
Just tuned in hoping for a miracle.

A defeat by an innings when chasing 267 will be the ultimate humiliation.

[Gareth]

65-8….oops! Just make the buggers bat again so that they aren’t all on the field when ashes are done

Abject batting doesn’t even cut it this series

[Risso]

This is just about the most gutless, dismal sporting performance I've ever seen.

[Lsvilla]

Woeful. Thank god they weren’t letting us in to watch this debacle live.

[Gareth]

Gutless is spot on, this innings no real rash shots but only Root tried to bat properly

[Risso]

And there we go.

[TonyD]

Blimey.  Unreal. 

[Nunkin1965]

A truly pathetic effort

[Gareth]

Only way England avoid 5-0 is covid….but that would rely on one of them actually catching something.

[Risso]

Should just bring them home now.
