Another poor performance from England specially inthe batting department. Their batting line up collapses again and again just after the wicket of root fells. Their batting unit is not able to perform as a team. Today butler showed some resistant but that was not enough. Looking like a whitewash to me this series if rain done not spoil any of the matches .
England should plan for the long term. Otherwise, they can now focus on winning the next World Cup without worrying about the Test format. If the players practice accordingly, they may be able to perform well in the World Cup. After the World Cup they can make a successful team selection for the Test format. They badly need some experienced opener.
England's team for white ball cricket is already strong both in t20 and one day format their team in amongst the best.
But in test matches their performance is going down too much. Their batting line up largely depends upon root and may be stokes. Apart from these two none of the batsman has performed consistently. Their opening combination is also not settled.
Ashes series now stands at 2-0 in favor of the hosts. Thankful moment for Australia's bowlers and batters.
Disappointed with England. It should have been much better. As a result, their performance has declined too much, and if this trend continues, the worst is yet to come. To win the 3rd ashes test, England should win the toss and elect to bat first. They must bat well to win the match. In both their previous innings, England did not reach the target of 250. It was a disappointing batting performance by the Englishmen.
