    Why do the Poms get four to five matches in each Test series?

    The one-off Test originally scheduled against Afghanistan could not have been capitulated as fast as England in 4/5 of these matches...

    Lyon didn't bowl a ball all test. Let that sink in.

    9 wickets in a session. 10 for 56 to end it.

    What are the England selectors and coaching team doing?

    Aaand they'll get them. That's the true shame of top level Sports coaching these days: it doesn't matter how bad you are proven to be, you're in the door.

    @donsteppa there seems to be some deeply reminiscent obsession with the Ashes.

    Both teams and the relevant media will now spend the next two years obsessing about building towards the next Ashes. Which will be just aa underwhelming.

    99 wickets taken by Australia in the series.

    63 by England.

    Beggars belief.

    All over. England need to sack their coach and arrange more domestic two innings Cricket.

    Australia were fabulous. All credit to them.

    Booooring, now the real stuff can start - ODIs against us.

    Only real positives from this Ashes is that Oz unearthed a couple of new talents that look good for the future. Their bowling averages will go up and batting averages down once they tour elsewhere.

    Certainly no question that is a thoroughly deserved bronze for Australia in the WTCC.

    Clearly better than England. Wonder if this will be a spring board for them to come and play with the big boys now.

    Given this extra confidence and with a bit of luck, the Aussies might rise to be beaten Finalists in the next World Test Cricket Championship.

    It made for some good cheap Twitter gags last night though “England travelled all this way 4 nothing!”

    There are lots of directions to point fingers when looking at this England rabble but I hope they have learned that Stokes is heartless. His dismissals almost always paid a big part in collapses and were usually from totally unnecessary shots.
    Is there more to the story or did he just give up and couldn't be arsed?
    Root is a rubbish captain but he also had no support from other senior players.

    Turned out to be even worse than travelling all that way for nothing:

    Brutal reading.

    Hameed did well to score two out of ten to be honest

    @mn5 can't seriously give Robinson 7 out of 10 when the guy was absent for long periods and not fit when present.

    Most of the bowlers did ok. Fuck me it would have been an even uglier series if they didn’t !
