England's Tour of Australia - Ashes, ODIs and T20s 13/14

Last of the 3 T20 games is in Sydney toady at Stadium Australia not the SCG. Slow pitch and sandy outfield.
England go in without a front line spinner. AD Hales, LJ Wright, BA Stokes, JE Root, EJG Morgan, JC Buttler†, RS Bopara, TT Bresnan, CJ Jordan, SCJ Broad*, JW Dernbach
Having been very expensive in first two games I think Dernbach can be considered lucky to retain his place.
Aussies won the toss and are currently 50/1 off 7 overs.

Hardly surprisingly England walloped again. All out for 111 chasing 196. Yet another dismal performance losing the T20 0-3 at least we have cast iron reason why Ashley Giles should definitely not be taken over the role England Coach for all 3 formats. New broom needed.

12-1!! .
What a total disaster of a tour .

Next time hibernate like tortoises and other creatures do in UK Winter .
It would save a lot of embarassment !

Dernbach's first 2 matches of this series brought him bowling figures of 1 for 50 and 0 for 42, which he followed today with 0 for 49. This means he finishes the series with 1 for 141 from 11 overs at an economy rate of 12.81. Having said all that it was England's batting which was the biggest failure in this series, as today we saw yet another top order collapse. England have been well outbatted 3 times in a row.

It should be almost impossible to get beaten by a margin of 84 runs in a T20 match,but England somehow managed it.

^ Yes I agree and it is the fact that we have been so comprehensively beaten and the margin of victory to the Aussies in virtually ever individual match not the fact we have lost the series 12-1 that I find must frustrating.

T20 Internationals - largest margin of victory (by runs)

Pakistan 103 runs v New Zealand Christchurch 2010
Pakistan 102 runs v Bangladesh Karachi 2008
England 100 runs v Australia Southampton 2005
Australia 95 runs v South Africa Brisbane 2006
Pakistan 95 runs v South Africa Centurion 2013
Australia 94 runs v Pakistan Dubai 2012
India 90 runs v England Colombo 2012
Pakistan 85 runs v Zimbabwe Harare 2011
South Africa 84 runs v England Centurion 2009
Australia 84 runs v England Sydney 2014

^ Very interesting and not the worse but still embarrassing and did not seem the strongest side the Aussie could put out.

Would appear KP the latest casualty of the disastrous tour
