Ashes - Day 3, Melbourne


And what is really embarrassing is that there will be no day 4 or 5 updates. England all out on the third day and loose the match by an innings and a shocking 99 runs. Warne may be happy but this England team is fast equalling one of the worst we have seen. It is hard to know why, almost overnight they have gone from a well adjusted team to a group of poorly confident individuals.

Chris Read is probably the only one to come out of this with a positive spin. He took 6 catches in the Aussies first innings and he got 26 runs in the second England innings. When you consider that he was initially dropped because he wasn't a run-maker he must be pleased to have got the second highest number of runs in the innings. His place should be secure. The rest of the team must be wondering about their places.
