Well done Aussies, 2 - 0 against the Poms!
Thought Root might make a stand today for a thrilling finish to the second test...but England folded (again).
Steve Smith and the Australian fast bowlers are looking very impressive
I do think the teams are quite evenly matched and the first two test scorelines are more a reflection of the attitude and total commitment the Aussies have bought to winning series...England just don't seem to have the self-belief that they can win a Test down under and seem to be lacking fast bowling pace. Not sure Ben Stokes would have made a huge amount of difference...but from a psychological perspective his absence certainly seem to have put the England team on the back foot. England might still have some chance if their bowlers can reproduce the glimmer of form they showed in the 2nd innings yesterday.
Looking forward to comments on the series here on the OF.
