Two innings have been played within the first day. It's getting like 20/20 nowadays! Are modern players incapable of sustaining a lengthy stay at the crease?

I agree it’s not a big innings era which is surprising when you consider the after cricket career that record holders in any sport can have - but will Sky careless the viewing figs will be up - it’s the new boom boom quick quick way of life - we seem to have gotten away with it today let’s see what happens tomorrow

I think Sky will care a bit more, having lost, potentially 3 extra days coverage. It is the travelling fans I feel for - paying good money to watch that shower

Disgraceful. No excuses are they

5-0 to the Aussies. Easy stuff.

None whatsoever!

I don't think the Aussies are that much better and can imagine the series going to the wire - much like Eng v India this summer.

Like to see the Aussie press tomorrow

......just one word for that performance - RUBBISH! Looks like they are incapable of playing five day cricket these days. Has the boom boom stuff spoilt our concentration.What has happened to Root and Stokes do they need a bigger bat.
