How much for 4th day tickets at the moment? I'd go for £20

Like in the mid 2000s they were not good but still vaguely competitive. They actually made England have to work for their wins. But this lot are completely insipid.

Not enough prep. In Australia we had weeks to prepare. This lot aren't great at batting anyway, but one match against a bunch of teenagers did not prepare them to bat under dark skies against an attack well suited to these conditions.

Hopefully they'll improve as the series goes on.....they're totally under-prepared.

I could forgive them yesterday, but it's not dark today, it's a good day to bat.

I did fear about their batting and thus far it looks like it may be the difference. I expect them to bowl England out at least a few times <250 but how many times they can get 250 themselves is a bit less certain

Work the ball around, get some momentum going. Left-right combination. Do something.

McKenzie, Hodge, Da Silva and Sinclair got 50s, we outfielded Australia and Shamar destroyed them.
If we get runs on the board our attack is good enough to win tests.
Unfortunately, the batting only gets runs on the board every 4 or 5 tests if we are lucky!

In 2017, they had a horrendous first test before winning the second, and the third looked like a bit of a crapshoot before our chase was remarkably smooth, so on that basis (I'll ignore facts like there being loads of different players with different experience/prep) a competitive series may well transpire however this one goes
Beamer
International Vice-Captain
Yeah we're not great at batting anyway, so collapses like that are always possible.
This happened tour before last when they got hammered in the 1st test and managed to win the 2nd.
Not going to happen this time round.

Hope Atkinson can get a 10 fer and become the first Gus since Fraser to do it for England

I hope so. Teams getting thrashed is amusing for a while but tends to become pretty poor from a spectator point of view before long.

That Aussie side on their last legs.
I predict a famous victory in 2025 and @Burgey will taste it hard.

Norwood's on Fire
They were playing a far inferior outfit to their current opponents
