Not wanting to start a war but watching the Aussies basically give up this afternoon is sad to see, it is not even as if England are world beaters. There is no point to the Ashes if it is like this, it needs a series like 2005 when it was all up in the air to the end.

Even worse now for the Aussies as they head to the Sunny South Coast at Hove next weekend to play Sussex.

Must admit with a monster run chase, a total that has never been chased ever by anyone and two days to bat it wasnt looking very good. Michael Clarke was the giving up point.
They have had some poor 3rd man decisions, Bell was out, but it wouldnt have saved them.

Only one game though, first was by a handful of runs.
I am hoping game 3 is closer though

This last Test the Aussies first innings batting was a disaster, but they did have England under a bit of pressure on Friday evening at 30 odd for 3. But once Root took control the match was never in doubt.

Remains to be seen if the Aussies confidence is shot and they capitulate or they come back fighting. They have some decent players but theres no consistency just odd spells of good batting/bowling.
