Apart from Livingstone with ball ( and Rashid) and bat very much outplayed by a strong Aussie side .

Is there little value in England overseas Test tours (bar the Ashes)? Every year we seem to know late who will show the series.

This will never make sense to me, surely there should be more interest in TV for overseas tours, for starters there are 20k odd in the ground for home series who would be wanting to watch an overseas tour

[leicsmac]

Interesting fact I just came across: at home, England haven't lost a Test series of three matches or more since the Saffers in 2012, and have only lost three in the last 22 years.

 

I reckon that's comparable to India and Oz in terms of home conditions dominance. And Graeme Smith can have a little smile at succeeding (twice) where Steve Smith, Kohli et al never did.

Incredible. With a little bit more love and marketing budget, so many people in the country could be talking about this right now.

Yup. It should be leading on all of the sports news today but of course barely features.

 

Added bonus of Surrey losing of course which is always nice.

Afghanistan v NZ (played on outskirts of New Delhi) becoming the 8th test in history abandoned without a ball being bowled.

No surprises that the fist two instances of this were ashes tests in Manchester

But out now .

 

Well done Carse !

[RowlattsFox]

Can't believe they haven't added the extra batter. 

[Super_horns]

Carse did well and Livingstone tight but rest were expensive .

[Lionator]

Livingstone being class might be good in this series but it’s badddd long term. Needed to bin him off after the world cups 

[RowlattsFox]

Livingstone showing why he's so much better than coming in with 2 overs to go like he has done for the last few years. 

He gets out though and it's Aussies game.

Don’t mess this up !

They probably wish Short had bowled more.

 

Great hitting by Livingstone and Bethall .

Make that 5 

 

Luckily it shouldn't matter. What the **** was that from Carse..

[Super_horns]

What a series Liam Livingstone is having .

2 more wickets and a fantastic knock with the bat alongside Bethall.

 

Brilliant partnership.

 

Cannot be many to take 5 wickets in a losing cause ?
