Lyth goes second ball. Not a good start.

Does anyone feel England aare playing carelessly without a "ploy" ??
They haven't shown symptoms of playing it safe at all.
They feel they can throw their bats around.I was observing for a few overs,esp between 3-8 overs..Its was sometimes a heave and a miss.
Ballance's problem with the full ball continues. He continues to get trapped deep in his crease and teams have quickly identified (and exploited) this fault in Ballance's footwork.
In the 7 innings Lyth, Ballance and Bell have played together, they have scored a total of 418 runs at an average of 19.90. That is not good enough from three of your top four batsman. It is putting too much pressure on the middle order to bail the team out.

England's three biggest question marks (Lyth, Ballance and Bell) are rearing their head in this Test match. All gone within the first 10 overs.

Its 40-4 now and looks like they will crumble in a heap.
Aus might have it easy from here.The pressure is mounting and England will surely choke.

Lets hope this prediction of yours turns out similar to your prediction of Sri Lanka cruising to victory over Pakistan

SL is in a pretty strong position.291 as lead and Pakistan never have had the best of a chases.
I predict a SL win with ease and with a couple of days to go,its a wager..
