It's literally that. Mental weakness. Lack of concentration, and frankly, over confidence in their ability. I said to cricket following friends of mine that I'd take Australia's bowling line up over ours, but that was with Hazlewood, Lyon and Cummins in the side, not this on

I was once mocked when I gave a team talk to a uni side I played for many years ago saying we have to bat better, bowl better and field better than them, and we'll win. The game really is that simple. England seem determined to do precisely none of those.

Stokes's tactics (ergo by definition McCullum's) have been proven not to work. They've bowled the wrong lengths, the wrong lines, dropped five catches, and have batted without any mental graft, surrendering to a now rampant Australian team. They're absolutely getting what they deserve.

Might not be a caught and bowled, but it's still hard hands to nick that

Have you ever seen a Test XI that has such hard hands?

Start Szoboszlai and Chiesa given his determination, and go from there. Everyone else, fair game to be dropped.

It's on the players, though. It's absolutely not acceptable for them to try to gain the ball back and jog back. It is entirely unprofessional from far too many at this point. If he's manager in the next game, send a message to everyone and drop those that aren't trying.

This is now working for me, so a recent patch may have fixed it, FYI.
I also happened to reset my Windows, and now One Drive is giving me a problem, so I'm hoping clearing all my files out of One Drive for FM will help solve it rather than have all the crazy amount of graphics image files there

The Aussies, the press as much as the players, will now grind their faces in the dirt for being weak. Weak-minded, weak willed, and not prepared or good enough for the Aussie team. They've handed over all momentum to Australia, not just the team, but the nation as a whole too.

I don't understand their field settings. How are they trying to take a wicket? It's proven over and over that you get wickets by pitching it reasonably full to utilise the extra bounce in Perth. Yet England are playing into the Aussie batmen's hands by bowling short, giving them space to score
