On a complete separate note, is it just me or has Jonny Bairstow whacked on the weight recently?

Just watched the highlights of the last hour.
Thats not really the type of bowling you want to face when your struggling.
It could have been so much worse for England. 4 down and from what i saw they got of lightly. Top draw bowling, atmosphere reminiscent of Lillee to Richards in the 80;s

Just when you think it can't possibly get any worse.
Even Mitchaggedon wasn't this bad. We made 300 twice...

Asking England to score 300 in this series feels as futile as asking for 500

They were 150-2 in Adelaide. 223-2 in Brisbane. But Root got out.
I always say that everybody's right.

Second lowest average for England's top 3 in a calendar year since the 1800s. Only 1989 was worse.
Also the lowest average runs per wickets for England in any Ashes series since the 1800s. Worse even than 2013

Wonder how the present team would have got on batting on nineteenth century pitches!

Credit England for being terrible a lot, but the bowlers are making this tough. Looks a minefield out there
