More inept than I thought possible. In fact, no evidence of any sort of eptness, a veritable ept desert.
Superb bowling and catching by the Aussies.
But...
Fucking hell.
I need to go home and start drinking...
A hearse has just pulled up outside Headingley
Any recent spikes?
As part of the team management etc then what do you say - Far easier to correct and fine tune one or two issues - When it is all as bad as this then where do you start
Easy to blame tired minds after the World Cup - But this is very poor - Yet not the first time such collapses have happened to England in recent times - And not one decent innings so far in this Ashes
Credit to Aussies for such a fine bowling spell, especially after such a poor day for them yesterday - They could easily have been expecting and looking at England getting 300 plus on the 1st innings - They have a plan, dug in and made it work
Archer + Broad were hoping for a day of - They might get it Sunday and/or Monday now
I'll be kind and say that it was a team decision not to let Roy feel bad about his batting.
One thing: no way will I be having a salad for lunch. I need some comfort food.
You start by looking at the women's game. So much of the financial boost a few years back went into the top level with the goal of winning the World Cup. This short-term goal was achieved but it was at the price of the domestic structure going nowhere. Cricket Australia went long-term and now they're light years ahead of everyone having spent their financial boost wisely by strengthening top and bottom and making their domestic structure better.
the men's game has had the financial boost going on for years and focused on the short term goal of winning the World Cup. This was achieved by fucking over county cricket, primarily the one-day competition and the County Championship, and this will be compounded next season with the introduction of the Hundred, a competition which so far seems to be focused on rewarding Australians with fat coaching contracts.
I hope to shit that the Test-loving fraternity do everything possible to boycott the team if we get stuffed this series. Don't attend internationals, stay away from the Hundred. Nothing would send a greater message to the ECB than Pakistan and Windies series next year where there are vast expanses of empty seating.

Come down to Taunton, Haseeb. We'll get you firing.
Words fail me.
