as england slipped to a six wicket defeat, and the tourists can only expect a draw —— hope for a draw at best. english cricket hoping this is not a sign of things to come. england's knew it was when our blast for their hopes. not the moment for one of the most chaotic start as you will see. second ball had knight caught behind, or what she? the catch seemingly taking in front of the stamps. england were confused and they are just disintegrated. the ashes surely as good as ever. 16—4. as gillian butterfingers, a battling half—ce ntu ry butterfingers, a battling half—century for danny. the giants proved a mere flicker as they were despatched into the city night. a couple of wickets briefly rekindle their hopes. australia have done it with two games to spare. england might be the world champions but in the series, they were second best. you could see it on the faces of the girls at the end of the game. the motion. we were disappointed. we had a chance at 16—1; to get 130, we had a

question is, patrick, where are england at in their preparations ahead of the start of the ashes? the phoney war pa rt start of the ashes? the phoney war part of the ashes before the tests we re part of the ashes before the tests were maxed out. —— start. five wickets, very cheaply lost. jonny ba i rstow, wickets, very cheaply lost. jonny bairstow, marine algae. all gone fairly quickly. —— gaia pope. the spinners took three wickets. a mixed bag. —— moeen ali. two batsmen, plenty of doubts before the tour, scored runs at the right moment. mixed day. two good days. and perhaps the day we took our eye off the ball a fraction with the bat, disappointed with the session. pleased with the 100th. obviously at the end, we still in context of this particular game, we are in position. in terms of our operation going into next week, we feel like we have dipped below where we were the last two days. things are england to work on. we saw australia's women winning. surprises for the men's selection? quite a lot of upset people in the australia squad. shane bourne thinks england are in a better place. another former as gillian player the selectors morons. —— shane warne. and an uninspired selection of a veteran. tim payne, the tasmanian, the wicketkeeper, he has not been keeping wicket much for his fate. one first—class century is four test appearances came seven years ago. he would have said they felt his test career was over before the call came. it is exciting. for an australian, the biggest series in cricket. to be here in australia is even better. test seven years ago, to make it again is exciting. i am up to make it again is exciting. i am up for it. interesting moves there on the selection front. for the moment, patrick, thank you. the premier league is back
