Nightmare.How many times does it happen.
Root out last over of the day. Now end of days play.
Nightmare.
The players have shown a lot more fight in this innings, but as usual the damage was done in the awful first innings performance
Just five more ducks needed for the most number of ducks in a calendar year for an England team.
...and was replaced by Stuart MacGill, who was the top wicket taker in the series with 27.And that 1998 team, that currently hold the record, had to face five of the best fast bowlers of all time within a calendar year (they are all top 20 for most Test wickets by a fast bowler) - Walsh & Ambrose in the West Indies, then Allan Donald & Shaun Pollock in a five match series at home, and then Glenn McGrath in Australia (Warney actually missed the first four tests of that Ashes with a shoulder injury)
Indeed....and was replaced by Stuart MacGill, who was the top wicket taker in the series with 27.
Indeed.
What England would give for a Stuart MacGill!
33 overs now. That’s still nearly 200 deliveries to face.
Glorious defeat is still defeat, I’m afraid. The resistance has been impressive - especially from the under fire Buttler - but let’s not pretend that this masks how abject and inferior England have been.
Robinson gone. Still 30+ overs to go.
Any chance of rain?
