The fifth and final
day of the 2nd Ashes test is looming and barring a miracle,
Australia will be leading 2-0 by this time tomorrow. This will be a totally deserved position as
England have only performed on two, possibly three days of the test series so
far, Australia have dominated. England
have been out played in every department; in the field where the 50/50 chances
aren’t sticking which makes the batsmen’s jobs harder. The batsmen have let us down the most, they
simply haven’t stood up to Johnson & co, they wouldn’t have lasted a
session against the great West Indian quicks.
It’s painful for this passionate England fan to say it but this series
will go the same way as this test, Australia will win the Ashes unless we can
complete one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
We have to face reality now, this great England side is well
passed its peak and some of the players are playing for their careers now. Unless this team can suddenly rediscover
their absolute peak form, change must come wherever the Ashes come to rest.
