****ing hell, this is just woeful

[Buzzo]

Alistair Cook is a terrible pundit.

Root should lose the captaincy at the end of this series. He not a good leader and it's also effecting his batting. Lots of muddled thinking.

[Buzzo]

• England's 67 is their 12th lowest Test score of all time

• It is their fourth lowest total at home

• It is their lowest at Headingley

• At 167 balls, it is England's ninth shortest completed Test innings

• It is England's lowest Test score against Australia since making 52 at The Oval in 1948

• It is the fourth time England have been dismissed for under 100 since the start of 2018 (after 58 v New Zealand, 77 v West Indies, 85 v Ireland) and the third time in 2019

• Before the start of 2018, the last time England were bowled out for under 100 was 72 against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in January 2012

• Joe Denly's 12 is the lowest highest score in a Test innings for England

Lowest highest score

Not a captain.

I’d also say there needs a real rethink for the top order as the players currently occupying these spots shouldn’t be there, not test cricket quality ( Root should be at 4).

Beyond pathetic.

Imagine if we were playing the Aussies circa 1989 - 2005 when they were actually pretty good

I'd give Butler the gloves and make him captain.

Sibley
Burns/someone else
Bairstow/Denly
Root
Stokes
Roy
Butler
Woaks/Jimmy
Broad
Archer
Leach/Moeen

[Chazza]

Foakes should be keeping wicket.

Ollie Pope should be opening.

[Norbs]

**** that, Surrey have lost enough to England this season already

[Buzzo]

Aus 222-7

Going to be a long day for England. Lead of 334.

[Exiled_red]

226-8 now,

But England's best chance is hoping it rains for the next 2.5 days

[Harv]

what a ball to Roy

[Harv]

Ian Chappell ripping into Roy here in our coverage

"Not only is this guy out of his depth opening, he's out of his depth playing test cricket"

[Chris]

Roy is an absolute bellend. Constantly sledging yet has nothing to back up his fat mouth.
