How can a team who consistently get over 300 in ODI, fail to get 200 and 4 scores less than 100 in the last 2 years. It doesn't make a lot of sense, I know test cricket is different but you would think even if we attacked as we do in the 1 day format, we would probably do better.

Johnny for the last couple of years we were reguarly getting over 300 to 400 in test innings in test cricket. I am not sure if it was because the opposition weren't that good.
Also in one day cricket there are field restrictions.
However I do agree in that these batsmen SHOULD be able to adapt to any conditions and play the game but for some reason they can't?
Also Johnny. We might think if we can win the next 2 we can draw the series. We won't but even if we do, Aussies retain the Ashes as they were the holders as they beat us in Australia previously.
Oddily enough doesn't his grandmother come from this country.
I know we are desperate but surely a 79 year old woman wouldn't get in the England side ?
If she an opener the selector will have a look.
OMG. I nearly just spat out my WKD Blue. That was so funny reading that. Especially at the last sentence.
WKD Blue, how old are you Paul??
Old enough mate. I have Buds in the fridge mate but unlike you I can't drink too much beer as I get full up with it plus home shopping is due at 6pm plus as you know I am only a little one.

That was my point mate lol I had WKD's when I was 16/17, come on mate man up at least get on the buds or even a dark fruit cider if you want to take it easy. You might aswell be drinking a fruit shoot
Don't bring your height into this one! Hope you get a job sorted soon, should have looked my way (LV) we keep hiring a lot of late
We need to use the final tests to start a rebuild. Use proper test players and not one day smashers.
honestly you may as well put Ballance in. He may be a snail but at least he lasts more than 5 balls
That's the spirit!
So you think we can win this match?
Yes I do think we can win it. But I don't think we will.
A draw keeps the Ashes alive. Giving up on day two of the third test, with the score at 1-0 is a bit defeatist, in my view.
Don't forget we've come back from much, much worse. On this ground.
The match won’t be a draw - we are on day 2 so that’s one result we can rule out.
They are now effectively approaching 150-1.
We can’t bat at test level.
The ashes are gone. Time to rebuild
That's the spirit!
Seriously @Chizz - what would you like him to say?! Our batting at test match level is laughable! Their best batsmen is out of this match. His REPLACEMENT outscored our WHOLE team and we had the friendlier batting conditions!!

Roy has contributed something positive to the England team!
He's taken a catch, Khawaja out for 23
Australia 52-3, Labuschagne leads England by 11 runs.
Jofra's bowling down the hill from the Kirkstall Lane End.
Time to channel his inner Willis ...
Unfortunately more akin to the first ball of series at the 'Gabba than the slower ball that castled Michael Clarke.
Just a thought...

When asked what his thoughts were when the ball came to him at second slip he replied along the lines of "I wish it had come off the bat first!"
We should be past the Aussies in about five years ...
