Virtually the same side that ran England so hard in the summer, beaten in both tests here but absolutely marmalised this time…

No Cummins? No Hazlewood?
No worries, mate.
Key, Mccullum and Stokes all reek of arrogance, can’t imagine what it must be like sitting in a room with the three of them stroking each other’s massive egos.

Yes, this must be particularly galling for the Australians who have never ever been arrogant in their sporting history.

Congratulations to Ireland.
@Iftikhar Bangladesh really are the Liverpool of cricket nowadays.

Barely managed to bowl an ODI’s worth of overs before he broke down this time. Oh well, in theory Tounge is better suited to pink ball conditions anyway.
So we threw the first test in 2 days for nothing? That tactic is looking awfully dodgy now
Half-expected with Wood, of course, but another paceman down (Archer or Stokes?) and we’ll see how resilient this team is. The Aussies lost two of their three main bowlers and just carried on, business as usual. I’m not sure if England are capable of coping with that and even the loss of one may shake them.
To be honest Bangladesh aren’t expected to be anything though.
There a bit like Leicester or Soton.
We just got skittled out twice and lost an ashes test in 2 days. Are there questions still to be answered about the resiliance?

Well, that was with the “full strength” side. Just wondering if they’ve anything left in the tank, now that they had that kicking.
Like a Botham 81 style response?

This is laughable, especially the ‘positives from Perth’ where they performed decently in one innings out of four.

This one may come back to bite England but straws need to be clutched.

Will Jacks in for Wood the only change for England then. Kind of funny they’ve picked Bashir for two years specifically because he’s tall and thought that he’d go well in Australia, only to shit the bed and realise he’s not good enough when they got there.

England batting first in Brisbane. I predict 60/5 after the first session.

6th ball and Starc gets Duckett caught by Manus
Crawley most likely.
