It is not beyond an England player such as Root to compile a big ton,it has to happen tomorrow or the Ashes as a competition has finished.

Losing when scoring over 350 in the first innings is pretty rare I believe. Even 330+.

In England i would agree.

As they say we won't know what a good score is until we bat.

Let's hope that they don't prove they have the better attack.....but we'll see.

In Australia, England have won maybe five or six tests ever after Australia scored more than 350 runs in the first innings. Becomes less once you hit 400. Maybe two or three. So it won't be a common occurrence.

It tends to be higher scoring pitches in Aus.

In 2006 England declared on 551-6 at this same ground and still managed to lose

Being bowled out for 129 in the second innings didn't help.

Yet another batting capitulation which does not surprise me one jot.
There is every chance that Australia will record a 5-0 series victory and the England players will return home with tails between their legs.

Apart Archer our bowling was lamentable.

I have family in Australia.I am informed that the populace are marinating themselves in a cauldron of glee with yelps of delight seeing England 'Put to the sword'.

Clutching at straws but it's just our luck that the temperature in Adelaide is forecast to go down next week from 42 C to 23 C. Adelaide doesn't get much humidity but playing in 105 F can't be fun when you're not used to it.

That was one game.

Statistics are a manipulators dream and a gift to a sibilant hissing snake.😆

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

One game is too few sample numbers to be used as a statistic. probably best described as an outlyer, and not part of the wider statistical analysis of England performances.

Bowling at the stumps would help.

Consficate all their bats and leave them there. It wouldn't make much difference to the scorelines.
