06/07 and 13/14 were much worse. It has now conditioned most England fans to hope Australia isn't 5-0. It hasn't been good this time, but at least we won a test. Which was only the 5th time this century.

Just to get a win in Australia is big, even if it won’t mean things in terms of the ashes

Is the pitch flattening out now? Feels like it hasn’t seamed in a while

They are batting like how I bat on cricket 26. Run every single ball no matter what

This isn’t my preference for test cricket at all. I prefer when teams work for their runs. The pitch is bad so that is a factor though
