What a disappointing Ashes feel the established players have let us down, hunger and desire has gone, not just the arrested ones.

Same here lost to an average Aussie team apart from Smith

Close of play 233-5 as Root and Bairstow fall in last couple of overs of the day

Very poor shot from Root. His conversion rate from 50's to 100s is piss poor.
He may be a very good batsman but world class my arse.

Total lack of concentration I reckon as you say he gets lots of 50’s and never makes really big scores,perhaps he gets bored?
