England lost both the Ashes Test until now, at the Gabba by nine wickets and at Adelaide Oval by 275 runs and gaze to cover-up as they are preparing for the Test Boxing Day at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) from 26th December.
Joe Root, Captain of England, perhaps running out of patience and stated that after 275 runs of tourist defeat during the second Ashes Test and if it yet harbors hope of recovering the Ashes and the team has to “learn fast”.
From December 26, England has lost two Ashes Tests till now, by 9 wickets at Gabba and by 275 runs at Adelaide Oval and they are looking forward to the preparation of the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
There was an impressive struggle from Jos Buttler who beat off 207 deliveries and stayed beyond four hours at the crease for his 26 on 5th Day, but yet England was powerless to stay away from this humiliating defeat.
Root Stated, “We need to learn and we require to learn fast”, making its irritation known. However, annoyance inside our dressing room is such that, we have not at all executed some basic things satisfactorily in a row for the second game and we need to cover it up very quickly.
This discouraging thing in this week is that we have made the same mistake that was done in the last week.
On Tuesday, Root was quoted to icc-cricket.com, that “the very most dis-satisfying thing for me was that the number of no-balls we kept on bowling and the number of chances we wasted again.
From 2010 to 2011, not win a Test in Australia, however, England should win now three on the run to earn the urn again. And the overall focus through these two Tests has been on the selection of choice of England, with Stuart Broad and bold James Anderson left out from the Gabba Test but the recall of Adelaide Oval at the cost of Mark Wood and spinner Jack Leach
Whereas focusing on the selection issues, Root has turned his focus towards what the team has gone wrong during the second Test.
Particularly, if you look at the first innings, we were a bit sort with the ball but we did not change them we authorized them to leave and they left very well.
You are at times looking half of the meter in length and if you watch the number of times they played and missed and however we beat the bat, and it’s perhaps frustrating and you believe you are doing the right thing.
“The thing is like; we just have to be quite brave and get the ball up there and admit that continuously we are going to get managed.” We have got three games and I believe they can respond.
However, we have got massive three games with the Ashes on the line presently and if they are not enough motivated to go on the ground and perform, then I don’t know what is”.
