Bad shot Dean

Knight was looking promising with her batting but she's struggling to get back on strike since those early boundaries - instead she's watching from the other end while her teammates get out
She's made 13. In terms of building an innings she hasn't even started.
 
I'll be pissed off if we don't play the two leggies in the test and I'll be disappointed if we don't win the test before the end of the third day/night.

The england women's team said a while back that they wanted to emulate their men's side with their bazball attitude.

Well, they are certainly emulating them in terms of being completely uncompetitive in Australia. In the words of Chris Scott, Mission Accomplished.

This English team are cooked and came here for a tourist vacation.

Absolutely mentally cooked.

The test match could be all done inside 2 days, let alone 4 days.
Would any of the English players be good enough to make the Australian team?

Heather Knight would be the only one I would think is good enough, Ecclestone may be the world's number one ranked bowler, but she is liability in the field and not as good with the bat as our spinners, so I wouldn't select her. The only other one I would consider is Bell who I think could be a very good medium fast bowler in the coming years but is perhaps just a rung below, Schutt, Garth and Brown at the moment.

Yep Heather Knight and Ecclestone for me.

Ecclestones batting is a bit underrated. Knight is a solid bat and for the experience.

One of the English pundits did say that 'fitness' was an issue, and it is. The Australians are more athletic, more agile and they are in better physical shape. Players like: Capsey, Ecclestone to name a couple don't strike me as that.
