Yet another pathetic collapse throwing away an excellent position, losing 6 wickets for 35 runs is simply unacceptable.

Moeen has been awful in this series, next to no runs or wickets, he has looked particularly ineffective with the ball, and wicket taker Rashid is sat at home watching.

Australia will finish the innings with 470 plus first innings score.If Smith gets out soon,then they will reach 400.

NO CHANCE...AUS gonna pile them on now...innings defeat incoming.

This was pretty much the nightmare scenario that i feared would happen all along

England’s bowling has to be among the worst out there. Can only pick wickets when the ball seams and swings abit. 5-0 is inevitable in this series. The only positive England can possibly get from this series is not loose by innings in this match and the following 2

Smith playing some loose shots and twice edges short of slips. I guess at 174 runs he might be getting a bit tired.

Big chance here for ENG.

Just like out in India last year Englands bowling is pop gun. Great for broad and Anderson at Trent bridge swinging around or edgsbaston under lights but outside those conditions poor. Only overton showed some spirit. Would drop broad from the rest of this tour.

This could get brutal, Lyon looks like being right 5-0 to Aussies.

Pathetic from us yet again. Enjoy the final day of us holding the ashes lads. 5-0 is just a formality now.

lets understand one thing OK Virudgreat.. India went for 600 on a few occasions in Australia last time they were there and lets understand this as well. Youwill struggle in SA with play with 2 spin bowlers without weaking your batting and lets also understand this England won in SA.
and one more thing England are not gonna win in Australia because like i said before the series we need to get at least 450 in all innings..
Our batting is the problem.. Wickets in Australia are very flat... this perth pitch as been ultra flat.. england should have got 500 when were 360 for 4. we failed again.

Why can't England bring Rashid for remaining two Ashes tests and add Stokes to their team for the remaining series?

Rashid is not good enough either. Untill we find another Swann (who was englands best spin bowler for 30 years) after underwood that is.. England will not have any chance with spin bowlers.. Moeen is a second spinner at best...

another comment..england won the ashes in 2011 because we got masses of runs. Cook got over 700.. trott and strauss scored heavely as well. Plus we had swann who won a couple of games on his own..
its nothing spectacular to realize assusies bat well in their own conditons they hit the ball on the bounce better than any other team in their own conditions,,

England lost the first 2 tests because we didnt score enough its simple.

Think it's safe to say that Smith is a few levels above the likes of Root, Williamson and Kohli. People were actually trying to put him in the same bracket as the rest

To have that average when the Aussies normally get hammered away from home is simply amazing.

viru. slagging of england bowling look at this

first test against India in 2014
517/7d & 290/5d <<<< Australia
second test 505 & 130/6 <<< Australia
third test 530 & 318/9d <<< Australia..

I feel sorry for Root hes all helter skelter at the moment. He doesnt have time to build an innings we are often 2 or 3 down in a blink of an eye.

Anderson outside England is pretty chit.

boss not really his record apart from Australia is pretty good away from home.

Its easier for Australian and other bowlers in England conditions then it is for English bowlers in Australia..You get nothing on Australian wickets.. In england which ever bowler you are you get a chance..

Australian bowlers struggle in India because they dont get the bounce and their batmens struggle to get the spinners away. teams do well at home theres no surprise there
