Will this be England's worst ever 5-0 defeat in Australia?

[Gnske]

This is arguably an even worse 5-nil now when you consider bad tactics that were out of Australia's control cost the match.

England might still win a game

Honestly was starting to sweat on my previous statement in this thread.

haha brother that's what we all thought before last week. Even lacking KW, us kiwi CW posters and some other clowns could join Conway and KJ and NZ would still send Bangbros on their way.

NZ rested 6 players against England in England and still crushed them, yet Bangbros took on a near full strength NZ and put in the best performance since Australia 2016 on our shores. Without Tamim and Shakib. As much as I try to find the secret fault in NZ, Bangladesh were just the better side on 4 of the 5 days. It was incredible.

If their quicks can access that level of performance again, they have an opportunity in England. They probably won't because Ebadot has since been put to the sword today, but they've got the talent now. Taskin Ahmed is a more impressive bowler in NZ than Chris Woakes ever was.

They will need time for this to be the culture there. What I am hoping is this is the 2006 for Bangladesh. It may even take them 10 years but if they put in the structures and processes in place to develop all varieties of bowlers and not just SLAs, they will be a force.
