Can England avoid an innings defeat is the first question that springs to mind

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 01:11

Stokes/Bairstow/Butler all 3 are capable of playing aggressively. Root anyways plays positively. They all should counterattack. Maybe they can surprise themselves.

**Saj** · 28th December 2021, 01:29

Cricket Australia Statement

**sweep_shot** · 28th December 2021, 02:02

Game may get finished by today.

Aussies should go up 3-0.

They probably should. The thought of that 4 all coming positively at Australia is a lot scarier than that 4 all coming out trying to bat time & ending up sitting ducks.

It's a low scoring contest so far- even a session of attacking cricket can change the complexion of such matches relatively quickly. One session won't win it, when you're coming out of a hole. But they'll drag it back even & change the pressure dynamic back to anyone's game & bowlers tiring/frustrated.

**Manunited18** · 28th December 2021, 04:07

I'm confident England can turn this around, excellent batting weather

**Firebat** · 28th December 2021, 04:22

After all that commentary talk of an England fightback, Starc rips through Stokes' stumps.

This match and series will be over well before Tea.

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 04:23

Stokes gone

**Savak** · 28th December 2021, 04:34

Why doesn't the hypocrite Ian Chappell demand England be banned from touring Australia for a while?

Ashes can be played against England only !

**Justcrazy** · 28th December 2021, 04:42

what do you guys think is Stokes better than Flintoff ?

I think Flintoff was arguably the best all rounder England ever had. If I make my best England XI I would have him in the side

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 04:49

Dropped

**Justcrazy** · 28th December 2021, 04:53

Given out but Bairstow reviews

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 04:53

Bairstow gone... Unlucky

**Justcrazy** · 28th December 2021, 04:54

Its out

England six down !

**Technics 1210** · 28th December 2021, 04:54

Am I the only one who thinks Scott Boland is a spitting image of Tiesto?

**cric_man** · 28th December 2021, 05:00

England in danger of folding.
Innings defeat looming.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:01

There is a gulf between Root and other players in the side.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:03

Moyo's record stands. What a spell by Boland wow

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 05:03

Yes... Root gone

**Manunited18** · 28th December 2021, 05:03

What a limp performance

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:05

Did someone say Boland was not test material lol

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:07

Very impressive spell by Boland. Nice line and length. Great channel. Good zip of the surface. Good carry.

**The Googly** · 28th December 2021, 05:07

He is just a journeyman. England would make a 3rd team club cricketer look unplayable at the moment.

Root doesn't belong to that category. He drew him forward with that length. Let us give credit where it is due.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:09

Butler needed a rank full toss to show aggression.

**wrongun** · 28th December 2021, 05:10

Botham is better than both by the width of a street.

Stokes v Freddie? Pretty close going. I'd take Freddie with the ball every time. Stokes is probably a better bat.

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 05:10

Another gone

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:11

5 for 5 on Debut at the MCG boxing day Test. Dream debut.

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 05:13

Now another gone... 9 down

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:13

Boland looks like taking a wicket every ball. A nagging length.

**realitygaf** · 28th December 2021, 05:14

This is just humiliating. England should really pack up and go home. I can guarantee Bangladesh would have played better than this. This is absurd

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:14

Incredible rhythm spell. 6 for 5. One of those days a bowler lands every single ball perfectly.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:15

Michael Clarke said it right. "Hardly bowled a bad ball"

**realitygaf** · 28th December 2021, 05:16

Joe Root should just resign after this test .

**SpiritOf1903** · 28th December 2021, 05:16

WOW!!!! ENGLAND PLAYING LIKE MINNOWS. Boland!!

**Aman** · 28th December 2021, 05:17

Joe Root is not that guy.

This current England team is a low mid tier team which would struggle against Pakistan and SL.

He has bowled fantastically- all credit to him. What I meant is he has simply done the basics of quality fast bowling. No swing or sheer pace - just a fantastic length and bowling in the perfect areas. Superb bowling. Full credit.

People underestimate how important warm ups are.

3 games into the tour and series is already over.

**Manunited18** · 28th December 2021, 05:18

Very ordinary side

**realitygaf** · 28th December 2021, 05:18

Boland is not really blowing unplayable deliveries. He is just hitting the length and line in the same way Anderson was doing but England batsmen are the ones playing him so badly you have to question if they are mentally fit to continue to tour

**NeVerMind** · 28th December 2021, 05:18

He's bowled well but this England team is done and you can tell the players know it.

This series will end careers.

**Aman** · 28th December 2021, 05:20

I called Root getting out in the first hour and the match being over in the first session

**imshally81** · 28th December 2021, 05:20

10 down...

**Aman** · 28th December 2021, 05:21

Root should step down as captain after this Test and allow England to rebuild.

**Aman** · 28th December 2021, 05:21

What a hollow victory.

England are absolute ****.

Just because he bowled the same length doesn't mean they are identical. He has a nice dip and also zip from the surface. It was an impressive spell.

Yes but I can guarantee any other test side even minnows would not allow him to be 6-5 in 4 overs

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:23

This is so dramatic. At one point England fancied themselves taking a lead and putting pressure on Australia in 4th innings. Now losing by an innings and 14 runs.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:24

All teams have made some no name bowlers great. India not long ago gave 5 for 8 to Root,

**Mahee** · 28th December 2021, 05:24

winning a test series in australia is like winning 5 ICC world cups

**realitygaf** · 28th December 2021, 05:24

You have to really ask the question ..

Is England mentally fit to continue this tour ?

**Buffet** · 28th December 2021, 05:25

What's the point of another 2 tests? It happens all the time when Eng is visiting Aus. Those tests may be useful for stats padding, but meaningless.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:26

Dominating victory for Australia. Why is it hollow. They buried them. They will want to keep doing the same in the remaining tests. England was expected to lose anyway. But not this badly though.

**Technics 1210** · 28th December 2021, 05:26

Root must be stripped of captaincy.

Humiliation. An ignominious defeat.

8th lowest total for England in Tests vs Australia.

I have seen some one-sided Ashes series. This probably is one of the worst. Anyone knows how many sessions were won by England in this series?

One

**The Googly** · 28th December 2021, 05:28

A complete and utter humiliation. England have been embarrasing. They have played like genuine minnows. Heads must roll. Start with Silverwood. What has he done? Then they need to replace Root as captain - he needs to just bat. I think they need to go to Alistair Cook and coax him out of retirement for 2 years - he is the only solution. I am very much one for never relying on old players. But England have no young openers. Cook needs to Captain and open the innings for a year or so to guide England through this dodgy period.

**realitygaf** · 28th December 2021, 05:29

I can already bet that if root had played Broad, England would have gotten Australia out on a lower score

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:30

50-70 runs lead would not have been enough to put any pressure. I don't think Eng was in a position to take a big lead any time.

As a Pakistani fan, will take a test series win in Australia over any World Cup win!

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:30

Is this series enough for Australia to get to the WTC final? It looks like 5-0

I don't care about being one of the worst, but Ashes in Aus is pretty much one-sided. When it is in Eng then it is much better. I think it should be 3 tests in Aus.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:33

Imagine Root having a normal year instead of massive year. England would have lost more matches.

**Bull** · 28th December 2021, 05:33

LOL hahahah.Scott the trundler Boland without much skills got 6 wickets.
This England team is really bad.They should just kicked out every single player apart from Joe root in batting department.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:34

As bad a captain as Root is, it is hard to watch him doing the press. Feel for him. Bowling is so so. Not overly terrible. But batting is abysmal.

**Devadwal** · 28th December 2021, 05:35

How the hell india won back to back series in Australia .

**Firebat** · 28th December 2021, 05:35

Imagine scoring 267 in a potentially series-winning Ashes Test and winning by an innings.

**Buffet** · 28th December 2021, 05:35

I don't think Eng is as bad as they have looked in Aus. Aus is likely to sweep all teams except India at home. In fact, they have swept NZ, Pakistan, etc recently. But you have to show some fight.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:36

They need to drop Jos Dropler and Barely batting stow.

England had an opportunity to wear this attack down twice. Malan/Root partnerships. But they failed to capitalize on their starts twice.

**jnaveen1980** · 28th December 2021, 05:40

England has to try to earn atleast one win .

**Bull** · 28th December 2021, 05:40

It's just beyond me.How did india won the 2nd series in Australia with mediocre players.
Australia bik gaya tha.
