Quite a good day for England with Australia 273 for 8 at close of play. Broad has taken 5 of the 8 wickets. The main partnership for Australia was Haddin/Johnson. Haddin is still in on 78.

Although England did polish Australia off for 295, Australia annihilated England for 136. At close of play Australia are 65 without loss and have a lead of 224 runs.

 

England know that this match is already lost as their fragile batting has been exposed and there is no way back. Michael Vaughan expects an Austalian whitewash.

 

I'm not expecting to continue posting in this thread as I see little chance of being able to say anything positive.

Another uphill struggle for England on the opening day of the second Test from Adelaide as Australia close on 273/5.

 

England selected two spinners meaning an all-too-rare opportunity for Monty Panesar.

Cold Sweat

George Bailey equalling Brian Lara's world record of the most runs scored on one over in Test cricket. Australia then declared. And Cook marks his 100th Test by being out for a duck first ball.

The England cricket team are in ashes have been annihilated by Australia losing all 5 Tests by huge margins. At this time they would be struggling to beat any test cricket playing country and the team will need to be rebuilt from scratch.

In a low scoring match, England beat Australia in the one Test match of the current Women's Ashes series.

England 190 & 201 beat Australia 207 & 123 by 61 runs. The winners get 6 points. There will be 3 ODIs followed by 3 T20s in this series. As each of the ODIs and T20s has 2 points, England only need to win 2 of the remaining 6 matches to retain the Ashes.

England have at long last won a match against Australia today in the ODI at Perth.

England got 316 runs in their 50 overs with Jos Butler getting 71 runs and Ben Stokes 70.

Australia were all out in the 48th over for 259 with Darren Finch getting 108 runs and Ben Stokes getting 4 wickets for 39 runs.

 

Although Ben Stokes dropped a catch towards the end of the Australian innings, it's not surprising that he was The Man of the Match.

If the Ashes were bad enough for England, things have just got a lot worse.

 

Final match of England's participation in the current World Tweny20 has now finished. Their last match was against the Netherlands. The Netherlands batted first and in their 20 overs got to 133 for 5.

England were all out for 88.

 

Jonathan Agnew, the BBC correspondent, says that this makes it questionable as to if the interim coach Ashley Giles would now be given the job on a permanent basis.

 

At least the England women are doing a lot better than the men.
