[Shaggy]

Pathetic. Typical England. For a good side we don't half have some stinkers.

[Alex]

I still think we will win the series. This test looks gone now though.

[Chazza]

England's display will raise inevitable questions about their preparation for this series, which featured a solitary first-class match against a New Zealand XI, particularly given that only once on the last 13 tours have they won the opening Test.

One opening test win in the last 13 tours

Shocking display we really need to get our act together for the Summer, if we give the Aussies a free pass in the first test they'll take a lot of confidence from it
