England is officially a rabble

England has plummeted to a depth that would make the world’s greatest speleologist proud. Incredibly, after successive losses to the tune of 381, 218 and 150 runs in this series, England found a way to perform still worse.

So far, given its number two status in the world rankings, England has been insipid. If it does not fire up at the WACA Ground it will again be swept aside by a team that most felt, prior to this series, would struggle.
