Duck-ett by name, Duckett by nature.

Eugh, just woken up and not surprised in the slightest that the Aussies are still batting.

They're just taking this piss now. Could you imagine Atkinson and Carse doing this for England?

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

An Australian scorecard with all batsmen contributing something. Wonder if England can do the same now.

Highest opening partnership so far - 9!

[badgerx16]

Half of the England first innings 'out' scores combined come to less thsn the lowest scoring Australian batsman managed.

Another embarrassment is on the cards. Without Joe Root this side would be bottom of the test rankings.

[badgerx16]

Too many stupid, loose, shots to balls that can safely be left. Other than Root, there doesn't seem to be a single player in the England team capable of batting successive maiden overs if the situation requires it.

Bazball has frazzled their brains.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Just fucking chucking it away again. What was Stokes going on about, has beens…. They need to ditch this brainless Bollocks baz ball and play proper cricket…

Umpire gives Brook out caught behind when he clearly missed it by inches, Brook reviews successfully. Very next ball Umpire gives him not out to a ball he has clearly hit, Australia successfully review.

2 very poor decisions.

Australia are quite clearly better at cricket than England.

That doesn't take away from the fact that Steve Smith has a thoroughly dislikeable face.

England currently 123 for 5. 🙂

And trail by 54. May as well be trailing by 54,321.

Probably looking at an innings defeat. How can we so consistently be this pathetic in test cricket.

Cheer up. At least we've managed to survive 3 whole days this time.
