The Ashes, page-940

This is not bazball.
England have lost the plot batting this series, completely different from last Summer & the Winter tours of Pakistan & New Zealand.

Australia have been average this series, England have been poor.
Australia shouldn't have scored 175 in the first innings from where they were at lunch yesterday.
England will be lucky to score 175 from here.

Poor selection hasn't helped.
Foakes has a better battiing average than Bairstow in England & is a far better WK.
Ali shouldn't be in the team, too expensive bowling & doesn't score enough runs. Ahmed should have been given a go,
Wood should have played earlier in the series & Woakes should have played at Lords with his record there.

England will no doubt pick Foakes & make the right selection choices after the Ashes are lost.
