So is that game over, surely no point in Anderson going out to bat.

I agree.

Bit harsh, no one wants to see him dead!

The ECB have been robbing the public by refusing to allow home cricket on free tv.
And with all the money that as been coming the standard of the test side as gone to sh|t.
Its same with the tennis.. Wimbledon gets millions and millions every year and they have failed to produce any one.. its ok Bayliss is on half a million a year.

I can only assume they asked Bayliss "Shall we bother sending Jimmy out?" and he'd already dozed off after his 5th beer of the afternoon, so they had to guess his answer

Jimmy probably fancies getting a maiden hundred out there. Woakes has shown there's runs out there.

The latest in a long line of Ramprakashes, Ballances, Lyths, Robsons, Vinces, Malans etc who are too good for county cricket but not up to test standard.

To be fair, every side has them. This current Aussie side has about 5 in their batting lineup. It just so happens they also have the best batsman since Bradman, which makes a bit of a difference. And a quality bowling attack of course.

The ignorant masses would have gone mad if we'd declared to lose the game I reckon.

It wouldn't be a declaration. Anderson would go down on the scorecard as retd hurt and we'd be all out.

Well whatever, there'd be a lot of whining.

And Smith drops the Ashes!

I think the biggest issue with England batsmen is the in intent when batting..The best player ive seen was KP. he use push forward and play straight. the England players get stuck in the crease push forward and lose balance. they play away from their bodies insteada of playing forward to meet the ball.

They're playing ODI cricket on test tracks against a Dukes ball.

Another problem I see on the horizon is the weather forecast for most of August which isn't looking great..
this could be the only result there is, am hoping am wrong of course
