I kind of expected us to lose a test to a funky declaration but I will be honest I expected it to be on day 4/5 to set a target and not on day 1 with the best bat in the side scoring for fun. It looked awful at the time and looks worse now obviously.
Australia strong favourites for a series win as England will keep shooting themselves in the foot.

Barely watch cricket anymore. Is the England batting lineup returning to the bad old days of the Butchers, Husseins and Ramprakashs?Does that mean my lot are stuck with Crawley for another 10 years?

No just we are stuck with a crap opener as he shows intent. He averages about 28 after 35 games and isn't good enough.

Ramps averaged 27 after 52 Tests...

They threw away a whole war and 13 colonies that way, what's a single Test match?

Ouch. Still, I'm English and I loved the Aussie show Operation Buffalo, which had plenty of Pom Roasting-some of it cricket based!

Well he put his arms up while doing that. That's a weird way to ask for a eclair
Anyways that kind of a declaration is good if its a day night game and you want to utilise the conditions or the conditions are generally helpful regardless but its not wise to do it on an absolute road on a full sunny day and against a team which has batsmen renowned for making big scores on flat wickets. I don't understand how some people can't see that. It's not being brave or risking defeat in pursuit of victory. Its plain stupidity

presumably in this scenario England take all their catches but australia still drop theirs? I just want to make sure we’re on the same page here.
