Probably also deserve the humiliating nature of the defeat.
From releasing the IPL boys, the replacement selections and the social twaddle, to the woeful batting, the modest bowling and the unbalanced attack, this whole series has been a monumental fcukup of gargantuan proportions
Could not agree more. Another Ashes humiliation is on the cards. Somehow despite allegedly spending two years building to this point, they've managed to be just as bad, if not worse, than two years ago.
Broad and Anderson continue to be class, but they can't be expected to keep getting the team out of trouble when they're bowled out for not much. And how often does not picking a spinner actually work, even in England?
