Dismal

England's calamitous tour of Australia plunged to a fresh low, as they were beaten by nine wickets in Adelaide having been skittled for a feeble 110.

Australia rested regular new-ball bowlers Glenn McGrath and Nathan Bracken but were still far too good. Left-arm pace bowler Mitchell Johnson took 4-45 - England equalling their ninth lowest score in one-dayers.

And the Aussies got home with more than 25 overs to spare in another hopeless mismatch between the two sides.

I’m torn between having a big old grumble and suggesting that the tour should be ended here and now to prevent further embarrassment, or insisting that they stay out there to prolong the abuse which the team are no doubt getting from the Australian media. Maybe then we’ll not go into the next Ashes tour quite so desperately overconfident and under prepared.

Shambles.
