If only England's cricket team could bat as long as Brexit..
Aargh! It's not rocket science - bat long and put on runs over time, not try to hit them all in 5 overs. This is test cricket, not short format stuff. Anyone would think Steve Smith hadn't showed them how it's done for 3 of the last 4 tests...

To be fair, remove Steve Smith from the Aussie team, and the two sides are pretty well matched. Warner has just set a new record for single-digit scores in a five-test series!!

Wonder how long it will take for this to be the de facto Brexit thread when the current one gets locked down.

I hope not. This is a rant about the dire performance of the England cricket team during this Ashes tour. The reference in the title is only because the batting hasn't dragged on. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
