for Australia or the poms?
What a dreadfull lot we are, then again we do have regular collapses like this from time to time, so shouldn't be a total suprise
The only way we can salvage any sort of pride (and keep the series alive) is bat out the match to a draw (highly, I mean very highly unlikely)
Got to hand it to the Poms their execution with bat and ball has been far superior on these decks. The K.I.S.S principle has worked for them, we have no idea what that is
I don't think there will be mass changes as that can easily fall ass over end as well, very risky. But at the same time due to retirees and very poor form from others, a few will have to go.
I personally would look at giving Chris Lynn a go. Joe Burns and Khawaja I like as well, hopefully both get another shot at some point soonish.
Im most disappointed with Voges.
Didn't he spend a lot of time playing county cricket (like Rogers) so out of all our bats he and Rogers have the best experience on these decks. Cant help to think that is why he was chosen, cause of English conditions as a big factor, otherwise if not for that Joe Burns would have got the gig, regardless of the runs Voges scored in Shield.
I have a quarter of a millimetre of hope that we can at least post a decent 2nd innings total to at least look like a draw might be a possibility
Reality is poms should regain the ashes come mid-late day 3
