Tests went down to

1) Final two sessions
2) Final session
3) Final ball
4) Final hour

If England held the urn this would be superior to 2005.

Lol England. Wow what a beating inside of 4 tests and a reclaiming of the urn. England badly need to do a sweep of the local leagues to find a couple of under the radar batsmen they can develop into test cricketers.

Cant deny that Australia are the better side. And by that i mean they have Steve Smith on their side.

Butler and Roy are not test level batsmen. They need to be dropped but I dunno who can replace them. Denly might be OK as an opener, he certainly looked more steady and less hopeless compared to Roy opening. Maybe Stokes should focus on mostly batting in tests, and bat at 3 or 4.

Denly has scored a couple of fifties yes but at times and in certain innings has looked as out of depth as anyone I've ever seen.

I agree. He has badly missed the outside edge about 50 times so far.

England should name Ballance and Sibley in their team instead of Denly and Buttler. Put Roy as opener and just tell him to swing the bat.

I would give Buttler the gloves to see if it helps Bairstow.
