A pity Mark Wood couldn't bowl in the first two tests, really outstanding pace bowling. Very good by Chris Woakes as well. Just imagine what might have been if Jofra Archer was fit! Him and Wood would've blown the Aussies away. I said before our bowling attack has been at half strength at best.

Not to mention Leach who has been a miss as well.

There is no disgrace in losing to Australia, but we are so frustrating. We simply can’t seem to dig in, everything is so bloody binary.

Ignoring Bazball, we've fielded really badly, and always have one really bad session bowling at some point. Then you can guarantee that 2-3 batsmen will have a mare, which then puts pressure on the rest of the top order.
