and a brutal collapse from Pakistan in the first innings.
Like the second test - there they saved it, but too much here. Well done Aus

Josh da Silva is a hell of a challenge to get out these days. Real limpet in Windows lower order and an example for teams like NZ
Settle down. He’s only facing England. I’d still choose Blundell over him
England A with Archer, Wood, Robinson, Broad and Anderson all out.

Lame excuse. Still counts as a test match.
Six down and still trailing by 10, I’m sure the last pair will save them again though.

Jeepers, Kyle Mayers with 5/9.
I remember him getting a double ton on debut but fuck all else since then.
First class figures indicate this guy can be an extremely good all rounder if things go to plan.
Or it could be one of those freakish fluky performances part time bowlers come out with every now and again.

Not an excuse, more giving context to de Silva's innings. Pretty uninspired bowling once the shine went off the new ball.
Broad and Anderson are self inflicted and many of the injuries arguably are too.

Plus don’t forget that England are pretty shit no matter who gets selected
Any test hundred is still a worthy effort though.

England's batting is shit, their bowling is still decent at full or even mid strength as it was in the Ashes.
A five-for against England in the last few years probably isn't worth a whole lot.

Oh dear England.
Very hard to see where they go from here….
I think the root ( pun possibly intended ) of their problems is county cricket being bad preparation for the test stuff.
Their top order remind me of the dark days of the Black Caps in the 90s and again in the late 2000s
Can we schedule a five test series against them soon ?

35 years after Craig McDermott took his maiden ODI five-wicket haul in Lahore, his son, Ben McDermott has hit his first international century in the same city
I love sporting stories like that.
Always interesting how genes work and he ended up as a keeper/batsman instead of a quick bowler.
I always wondered what happened to his brother, fairly safe to say he’d have been capped if not for injury. A fine first class record indeed ( brief though )

Yeah, we’re all over the shop at present. That Mirror article suggests some laughable captaincy options but highlights the sad truth that we just don’t have that much choice. I read another article recently about our search for an opening pair and all it came up with was bring back Rory Burns and find some other bloke from somewhere.
