I’m done with caring about Ashes Series’ Down Under. Same old garbage time after time. Can’t stand those cheating b******s either. We hand it to them on a plate every single time - embarrassing. You’re leading by over 100 runs with only 1 wicket down in your 2nd innings and yet 5 hours later you’ve lost by 8 wickets inside 2 days. Bazball, more like Bazb******s and it should get in the Bazbin.

It’s amazing to see how much bigger the bats have gotten since Beefy played.
Bat size in terms of face area hasn't changed much (its regulated in the laws), what happened is the amount of wood (volume) has increased ALOT

On reflection it wasn’t that clear as there probably are people out there who would happily have a full size bat mounted with a huge signed Botham poster.

You can argue it’s been marginally less bad, but 8 wickets is still a thumping.
It’s always tough down under but this team just don’t seem to have the necessary patience, flexibility or toughness.

Bowling lost us this one...simply not good enough too many runs conceded in first innings.

Bazball is the sort of cricket you play when you're 10 and just want to whack every ball.
Noticed a pattern of Cricket Australia and its media partners hyping every home Ashes as the biggest one yet or words to that effect then it's all over by the 3rd test. Old enough to remember 1998-99 and off the top of my head the only one that played out differently was 2010-11.

I know the old "arrogant English" thing gets thrown about a lot but this lot really do come across as having their heads firmly lodged up their own arses. Multiple cases of criticism of how they conducted themselves, the apparent lack of professionalism or care and how the whole thing seems to have been treated like one big jolly for them.
The people at the top should fall on their swords but current evidence suggests they have no plan to.
Atherton and Hussain put it well earlier. This lot were given chances to go about it the way they did because the previous methods kept failing dismally. Sadly we've tried doing thing diffrent and ended up with the same result.
Ultimate problem its the way Cricket is run in this country and the players available rather than actually the current or previous management.

Mind you lets try a new guy at number 3 who has never scored a first class 100.
