Under investigation now by the ecb.

I thought the umps let Aus get away with too many short balls, full stop.One thing I mentioned earlier and has now been picked up in the press is the amount of short pitched stuff directed at the England tail. I thought that the umpires should have stepped in and called it intimidatory bowling, and I maintain that. You can't fire in 5 shoulder/head level bouncers in a row at a number 10 batsman, it just isn't on

although it is pretty scary that england can't seem to play the short ball, Starc/Cummins etc were not destroying other international team tails so why are england so vulnerable to the short ball.
last time around in 2013/14 most of the team struggled with the ball and it carried on when Sri lanka and India bounced them out as well.

I assume that you were talking of today's play, Fluff?
After all, for the majority of the test, England were very competitive, and were making the running for the first 2-3 days.
Fell apart badly after that, and a 10 wicket loss is a bit of a hiding.
Better for England that it is Adelaide coming up, not Perth.
