Rory Burns…
1st innings 0
Drops Warner costs 46
Drops Head costs 58
2nd innings 13
Contribution -91
Anyone can drop a catch, but he dropped two absolute sitters. We’re better off playing with 10 men than including Burns ?

So, his entire net contribution is almost too many for England to overhaul as a team in one innings!!

Think I had the prediction/ hope wrong here. Totally outclassed but bring on Adelaide. We were there in 2011 along with Sydney later. the last morning of the Sydney test, what a great day.

Some think tank that we wait all day for the "under lights" session and weve got Root bowling when it comes!

Think Root and Silverwood need to have a chat with Boris - at least he had a Plan B! Banging the ball in short and then waiting for the lights to take effect didn't work!

Embarrassing from Buttler. First drop was a very tough chance, but the second... 
He has generally been ok behind the stumps, so hope the drop doesn't turn out to be too expensive.
I don't think it will impact the outcome of this match. Australia will accelerate tomorrow, Head will come in and score quick runs, and then we will have the agony of an England collapse in the last hour under lights. England in big trouble.

It’s all very depressing to watch.
Poor selection, poor tactics, poor captaincy, and for the most part poor application, certainly by our batters.
Glenn McGrath gets some stick for trotting out his 5-0 prediction whenever England head to Australia for an Ashes series, but he’s bang on the money this time.
In fact, this England side is so bad I’m not ruling out the possibility that they could lose a five match series 6-0 ?
Shocking from Buttler and not for the first time. I know we have discussed the WK options before and penchant for a WK/Batsman but I am wondering (and given the flakey nature of the batting anyway) whether a specialist keeper is the way to go.
