being dismissed for less than 100 three times in the last ten would be a big concern for the batting coach.
Wow, that is really shocking.
Root has carried them for a while and the cracks (that are most of the rest of the team) are showing.

I was hoping that the bowling attack would explain the exclusion of Starc, and they very happily did.
It feels very unusual/almost unclean being unequivocally in support of the canary yellow’s for one series, but that bowling performance definitely helps...

If looking for great English spinners, Jim Laker comes to mind:
193 wickets in 46 matches, average 21.24, economy 2.04. Has the record for the best bowling in a test of 19/90 (not a typo), and most wickets in a 5 match Ashes series of 46.
He's been dead for 33 years, otherwise he might have been a good call for the squad for Tests 4 and 5.

England have never chased down more than 350 to win a test.
They'll have to set a record to do it.
It's good that Archer isn't afraid to go short to the Aussie tail. They, of course, don't give a fuck about intimidation, knowing the best intimidation is to get England out for under 200.
England fielding has been woeful. Overthrows, misfields, dropped catches.
