Agreed. They can't use the workload excuse given they have 3 days extra rest they didn't expect to have.

I shouldn't be but I am surprised how negative people are after this Test

Not sure any amount of practice will save this England team from Starc with the pink ball.

Would at least give the media one fewer stick to beat them with

It felt like England knew they'd blown their opportunity and were shell shocked.

This team don't really do battling defeats, throughout this era we have seen England receive some absolute hammering

Pope, Brook, and Root especially should be disappointed. Not really the length or line to be driving

Is this your first taste of Test cricket Shaun?

If so, welcome 🤝

I've shared again 👍🏻 Must have been about a year since I did it last

The England bowling attack is perfect for this pitch. They all compliment each other.

Even when you get through Archer, Atkinson and the pace of Wood, Carse has the ability to bowl magic deliveries.

Not sure both sides can keep up this tempo for 5 Tests

Found it!

Batting totals might be higher if it was 😂 We've had days like this before but I can't remember a day that felt so frenetic from both sides.

I don't want to limit him as a white ball only player but he has all the hallmarks of being a devastating middle order batter.

Plays the spinners really well with sweeps and uses the crease nicely too.

Different style but could have a Buttler like impact in the ODI side

Safe to say that English leg spinners haven't fared particularly well in Australia 😬

That said I would love to see Rehan get a run in the white ball sides. So much fun and incredibly talented

Didn't like Baker trying to bowl Yorkers with mid off and mid on both in the circle 😅
