Awesome spell by Boland. The selectors know their stuff better than I do. Ashes retained and won in comprehensive fashion. On the other hand England are ridiculously poor with the bat. To lose by an innings when the winning team has made just 267 is pretty much unheard of.

Davey Warner 4/10, threw a start away.
Marcus Harris 6/10, hugs all round as the special Ed kid finally played and missed his way to 70 odd
Marnus Labuschagne 2/10 a rare failure
Steve Smith 3/10 superpowers might be waning
Travis Head 3/10 fielded
Cam Green 5/10 bowling improves batting not so much
Alex Carey 3/10 needs to take control of his zone (not sure what that means but it sounds like wisdom that my mate Hayden would say)
Mitchell Starc 8/10 back to his best. Suck a schlong Warnie
Patrick Cummins 8/10 set the tune & made us all swoon
Nathan Lyon 5/10 Not his pitch. Still bald
Scott Boland 9/10 lankey, gangly looking f**ker bowled pretty bloody well as predicted by all
 

King hit

Bowled out for 68, only have passed 200 once in 6 innings, couldn’t make Australia bat again 80 odd behind, test decided within 7 sessions, a flat track shield bowler getting 6/7 on debut. These poms are weaker then the chocolate palace they built in India in Charlie and the chocolate factory.

And you know what…it’s f**king glorious

The state of English cricket. Their best bowler is nearly 40. They have just one above average test batsman. They don't have anything close to a test standard spinner. They're picking blokes who average 30 odd with the bat in County cricket because the depth is that thin.
