The Ashes Tour of Australia 2025/26

Shocking performance all round, the Ashes gone yet again.

Third Ashes test: That has to be it for Ollie Pope. Chance after chance given.

In general most of the England batsmen actually tried to apply themselves with a couple of obvious exceptions .
But it was too little too late.
It was typical of Australia to bowl remorselessly well all day and keep the batsmen under pressure by probing away at a naggingly awkward line and length. England succumbed.
The real damage was done in Perth and Brisbane where England has opportunities to cement good positions and threw them away with irresponsible batting against sub strength opposition bowling attacks in relative terms.
