I will still say that this English team is not that bad, they are far better than their predecessor. In my opinion, they lack the skills and experience to play test cricket. Australia has won the recent WC there morale is high and have players who have played all kinds of formats in cricket. With three more matches left in this series, the English side can still come back.
The problem with England is that they are overdependent on a few players. For batting, they are dependent upon Joe Root. And the pace bowling pair of Anderson and Broad are supposed to carry the brunt of the bowling workload. There is hardly any contribution from the other players. Now look at the Australian team. They are well balanced. Apart from Smith and Labuschagne, others like Travis Head and David Warner are scoring runs. And in the bowling department, Jhye Richardson and Michael Neser have provided excellent support to Mitchell Starc.
