Here's Paul, with steam rising off him: "Pitiful, pathetic and downright poor! Okay so I am being kind to England. Will this suffering never end?"

86/5 after 12 overs
 
England whimper through to 130/9 in their 20 overs. Would expect Aussies to takes this one.
 
Ahoy there. So, Australia need 55 runs, England eight wickets. Plus a bit of a sit down, a hug, a drink with an umbrella in it, [-]a revolver[/-] and their plane tickets home.

Australia require another 50 runs with 8 wickets and 57 balls remaining
 
Australia thumped England by 8 wickets with 31 balls remaining.

Josh Hazlewood is named Man of the Match: "Yeah, it's nice to have an opportunity with the Test team away and to make the most of it. It's been a great summer and to be a part of it at the end is brilliant."

4 for 30 was his claim to fame.

England captain, Stuart Broad: "Give credit to Australia, they outplayed us. Maybe the wicket just stuck in a little today and we couldn't get going. We've done some great things with the bat but it's not clicked in these two games. But it's not just the batting, we didn't bowl well today. I imagine conditions in Sydney will be slightly different to Chittagong but we've have to get some momentum from somewhere."

Should have just stopped at saying that they were outplayed. Blaming the wicket is a poor excuse when the incoming team thrashed the bowling to all parts of the park. Pathetic.

Australia captain, George Bailey: "Another great performance with the ball, set the game up. We thought it would be a bit of a surprise for the English [to open with Hodge]. He had to make do with a catch and a run out. We've really been put through our paces in the field and in all formats it's crucial. James Muirhead bowled absolutely beautifully, he came in with confidence and did really well tonight."

This is a horror tour for England. They wouldn't score a win in a brothel.

The Aussies have always been arrogant when they're doing well. When they're not, then heads roll.

The poms are arrogant even when they're crap.
 
Breaking News: BBC are reporting that Andy Flower is resigning.
 
So the poms fail to win in any one of the three formats? Or did the get one in the ODI?
