Embarassing stuff

[RichC]

Not even worth watching.

[Alex]

This is such a shame. I'd love us to try and make a game of it. But we offer nothing. Only Bell coming out with any credit.

[Reece]

Ouch.

[Buzzo]

Johnson took 6 for 16 after lunch

[EwarWoo]

So, we're not just going to lose this series, we're getting utterly smashed.

Aussies are playing really well, have to give them credit, but we're playing so poor we're not exactly making it hard for them.

[Vermilion]

Can we really be this bad all the time over there ?

We win the next one and it sets up a chance of at least a tie to retain the ashes, not how we'd have wanted to do it, but we'd no doubt take it now.

Thing is, it does look like the players are spent, and we could well be as bad as we've been for every test!

[Bender]

boy oh boy when England are bad there excruciatingly bad,no inbetween....well makes great entertainment anyway

[Chazza]

Humiliating.

When we bat next, its all about pride. Every single player should stand tall and get hit time and again. Time to get their balls out and show the world they have some. I'd love cook and Pietersen to get smashed twenty times a piece and still keep their wicket. Forget runs, just need to put a marker down. Resilience, mental strength, determination, defiance, sheer bloody mindedness. Come on you cunts.

I think I posted similar after the first innings in the first test. They need to sort it out.

[Shaggy]

Disgraceful. Don't mind being beaten when you're at it but we are giving wickets away. Root, Pietersen and even Carberry were joke dismissals. The team is a mess. I'd drop Prior and Swann for a start. They've become liabilities! Get Bell up to three.

But whatever we do we're losing this series 5-0.

[RichC]

It's shocking just how this side had deteriorated, the signs have been there for a while but the collapse so far on this tour is jaw dropping bad

[PTP]

Just getting smashed...such a poor effort, no coming back from this

[Buzzo]

Cook has begun to lose all form since he has been made captain. It happens to all captains in cricket eventually Atherton, Hussain, Vaughan and Strauss - but Cook is so young and has so much of his career ahead of him you wonder if he has perhaps been made captain too early.
