England's over rate PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even when there up top there still playing negative

Fair play to the Aussie curators they could have took England's lead and just picket 5 pitches that totally suited there play (in this case 5 bouncy pace pitches) yet they have provided and even enough series in terms of pitches 2 of which including this have suited England more

Which makes the battering even more funny

The LK knowledge broght to the forefront once again

Thanks Lyon

PMSL When you thought it could not get any more Hu milting this tour will go down at the most humiliating in history

Can't believe how badly we have managed to mess this one up

Cook with that legendary captaincy

Picks Monty for his bowling then has Root bowl ahead of him PMSL

Never seen an england team so negative.
Petersen for captain. Cook should of been shoving monty down australias throats. Not a bloody part-time bowler?

This is why england will never prosper in any sport:joker:

Kevin would be a worse captain that Cook TBH purely cause no one in the dressing room likes him

Think Barbie is probs the best man for the job

No good captains in this England team, Broady is a possibility but still too young and arrogant plus he's a bowler.. Bell maybe but then not sure he really wants it or is up to it

England needs a complete overhaul, last couple of years has disguised that we're not as good as we think we are. Watch India-South Africa going on atm and you can see how strong those two sides are, we're not near that. The England team for the next series in 2015 will be a lot different to this one

New era same old International 11

Ballance deserves a go definitely, would have preferred Carberry to miss out instead of Root though, think Carbs has showed he can't cut it as a test opener and Root is the future.

Dropping Monty is risky as well, Borthwick can be a bit all over the place apparently, big ask for him to be the main spinner on his debut

Root was YOUR MAIN BATTING PROBLEM. Him coming in and stinking the place up at 3 set the tone throughout the rest of your batting line up unacceptable his strike rate

Root has at least had one good innings and has shown how much ability he has in previous series, I think confidence is his main problem atm. And at his age it's obvious he's gonna be in and around the England team for the next decade, Carberry is 33, it's now or never for him and I don't think he's shown that he can cut it

Root is a bum his one good innings you hinted at he should have been out of 3 separate occasions how can the future of your team be a player who will be utterly useless on half the world map cause he can't play the bounce. Carbberry is another bum BUT has earned his right to stay ahead of EVERY OTHER batter in the team

MTVN what do you think of the continued selection of players from around the world???

He has already scored runs in India and NZ, played the bounce well in that one good innings of his, unfair to judge him too harshly on this series when none of the batsmen have performed. Plus his off spinners would be useful now that we only have Borthwick as a spinner

And I really don't care tbh lol, they've all come up through the English system and meet the criteria

I'm judging him in England where he was also useless don't let one innings where he should have been out of 3 separate occasions fool you. If your going to be scoring at a run every 30 balls you need to be averaging at least 50 because the pressure your putting on your fellow batters batting that way is immense

I think it's disgusting tbh and a big problem how can you expect players to play for your country to the death when they are from another country silly tbh

He is capable of scoring quickly though, look at his record in ODIs and T20s. Still say it's just confidence and he can easily break out of this run of form, he'll be back in the summer I'm sure

KP is the only one who's given reason to question his motivation of our foreign born players, playing the highest level of the game in one of the biggest sporting contests in the world should be plenty of motivation regardless of where they were born. Plus they pretty much all have strong connections to England anyway

Warner has no respect for Broad whatsoever you gotta love that man

Broady gets him again, Warner really is his bitch

Aus going at there 50/50 over pace

WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G'wan Stokes, just to get this muppet Smith out before lunch now

Aussies on the ropes now, 97-5, great stuff

Cometh the hour cometh the People's Champ

MICHALEJORDANLUAGHING.GIF

It always ends up going wrong just as I start bragging in here

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the definition of humiliation Jimmy looks like he is going to cry

Oh dear dear me

A New Zealander and a Zimbabwean trying to save England

EMB ARASSING

WTF Stokes caught behind and the 3rd umpire gives it not out FML. That's 2 in this innings alone including Carberry

Good to know some things have not changed from the English series

This is your time Gary Ballance, do it for England

Do it for your native Zimbabwe Garry but them on the map

MTVN thoughts on Stokes being given not out please

Umpire's word is final, if the Aussies don't review it's their own fault

Gary Ballance - true Englishman

Well done the young lads

18 run scored

MICHAELJORDANLAUGHING.GIF

Yes he is

Well well well, looks like you're 4-0 prediction is going to be wrong after all LK

Cook honestly has too go down as the worst captain in history. Negative tactics aside he really knows how deflate his players. First we had Root coming in ahead of Monty now KP ahead of Borthwick FML

And the most humiliating series loss in history is complete

Don't ever question the Legend's killer knowledge AGAIN I told you EVERYTHING that was going to happen a month before the first ball

This Aus team aren't even that good really, an impressive bowling attack but then we've made it really easy for them, it's nothing like the side that whitewashed us back in 06, it's just that England are a disgrace

Stokes is the only positive from this series, Broad has done alright too, hard to say a good word about anyone else. Can't have a defeat like this without making major changes, heads must roll

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the complete activity in this thread if you had just listened to me before the series there would have been need for the thread debacle

Anyways the latest leg of the humiliation comes with Aus playing this team tonight Bailey(c), Johnson(vc), Finch, Marsh, Maxwell, Wade, Smith, Coulter-Nile, Pattinson, Faulkner, Christian ****ing ZERO respect for England you got to love them Aussies

The real Ashes is over till 2015 LK, we purists care little for the silly ODIs

Cricket Australia must follow your line of thought MTVN going by there team for tonight LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
