4-0

Oh dear...

Must have been the pitch...oh, wait how come the Aussies managed to bat on it? In fact two of their bats managed to score almost as much in one innings as all 11 England batsmwen did in two innings. That must mean that they are 10 times better than us?

Freddie just said it was time to regroup....not sure that's going to help. All the way through this series England have had the chances and failed to capitalise on them. Even in this match when they had them 84 for 5.

After losing the Ashes in 2005 Australia had a full review of everything. We should commission this review now. The management team have been clutching at straws the whole tour.

I am ashamed at England's performance.

Nothing for you to be ashamed of. The only aspect of England's cricket that is better then Australia's is the fan support.

Given the preparation and the intensity of the two sides in the leadup to this series, there was only ever going to be one winner, and to be honest, I'm not surprised by the margain.

After what happened in 2005, what did English management think Austrlaia would do? It should have been clear to blind Freddy (as well as F. Flintoff) that Australia's cricketers were going to walk over broken glass to win in 2006/7.

And yet they sent a half-fit side with the coach deadset on underminding the confidence of the healthy members of the team by not playing them.
