Has to be a "Dressing room drama" why Broad, and Anderson to an extent, were not wanted in the first 11 until public opinion and results dictated otherwise. Might not have won but would have been more competitive if both were bowling from the start.
Edit. But still wouldn't have made much difference to the end result. :D

What do English batsmen and junkies have in common?
Both looking for a score.
Whats the difference between English batsmen and Cinderella?
Cinderella knew when to leave the ball.
Whats the hight of optimism?
English batsmen putting on sunsreen.

Rubbing it in now. Last 54 balls before lunch yielded 0 runs for 3 wickets.
Whole touring party just spotted outside the SCG dressed as red indians doing a rain dance.

Bairstowe gets a well deserved ton. Probably a broken thumb as well.

That last England innings was abysmal. Embarrassing.

I do feel for the English bowlers. They held up their end of the bargain.

All done and dusted. Apparently not many on here follow the cricket, or sore losers maybe, but that was ,in the words of Sir Beefy Botham, a fucking embarrassment and a gutless performance. But probably all giggles and smirks in their little cliques in the changing room. The bowlers tried but the batsmen couldn't give a fuck. They should donate their test payments to charity and never put their hand up to tour again.

Beefy might not have said "a fucking" but I bet thats what he thought. :D

England's batting was a shambles throughout.

Might as well re-name them Tottenham, they're all bottlers
