How dare they, real fans show their passion by ranting on message boards.

Does a hell of a lot more than middle aged men getting absolutely smashed out of their faces, paying no attention to the cricket whatsoever

Sorry, I’m just not down with celebrating failure by getting smashed. The game is dying and the modern test cricket match goer is one of the reasons for it.

Fair enough, but I think of all the things to point the finger at for this shameful display...the fans come nowhere near the top of the list for me.

How long have you been following English cricket for? Getting smashed has always been part of the make up of an England fan.

They don’t come near the top for me either. However the test game is attracting people who specifically want a day out where they can drink and get mildly involved in the game. The ECB will have no issue with that because they’re bringing the money in and not putting England under any pressure to perform.
There is absolutely no way the England “team” have deserved to get off completely from the crowd. Only a few years ago they would’ve been booed off for this shit. I doubt most of the fans in the stadium have no idea what the score is.

Fair, drinking has always been part of it, but 95% of that crowd are smashed and couldn’t give a fuck about the result. I’m 27 and I’ve been to numerous games where England have been booed off for playing nowhere near as badly as this.How long have you been following English cricket for?

Were you booing on your own?

Smith and Labuschagne aside, This has got to be one of the weakest batting line ups, from both sides, I've seen in an Ashes series.

Archer now looking fooked
Goes to show what happens when the batsman don't do their jobs and allow the bowlers more rest between innings

Being over bowled - he is a spearhead, not a workhorse. When great bowlers like Michael Holding are saying this then we really should be taking notice, but it is not that complicated anyway.
Root really has not got a clue - captains like he's at secondary school.

Could be worse, could be drunk and not watching it at all.
