    All over. A respectable defeat, suggesting we may be able to win one of the final Tests

    Australia 371 & 349

    England 286 & 352

    It was being reduced to 168-7 in the first innings that killed us. As well as the difference in slip fielding - Harry Brook’s two drops costing England 148 runs in total.

    Brendan McCullum admitted that preparation for this series has been wrong. Both before it began and between tests.
    Also saying that we needed to play with a more measured approach and recognising what to do in certain situations. They did that more in this test but they didn't do it at all in the first 2 test. 

    Well glad you're finally learning it's a bit late especially when nearly everybody else already knew all this.

    You had a good innings and brought us some highs and lows along the way. You'll never be forgotten. And remember, there's still plenty more to play for. On the golf course anyway. 

    RIP Bazball

    Langer talked about having a hard edge and specifically about not giving up an innings when you're in. We've had one hundred in three matches. They've had three of them and the two scored by Head proved to be winning ones.

    Roots ton and the return of Archer pretty much the only positives out of this tour
    Bad preparation, bad coaching, bad technique and bad results

    Key, McCullum, Pope, Wood should be finished with England Cricket by the end of the tour and bring in a coach that wants to play positive cricket but can actually coach and improve players, I’ve liked the way Langer has spoken about footwork and he’d be a good shout despite being an Aussie and a bit of an oddball.

    Being Rob Key seems a decent job. 

    Anyone seen him?
