Last 5 wickets fell for 45 runs. What a poor tour this has been.

Its shocking. 277 is not a bad score really though, that outfield cost them easily 50 runs.

Disastrous tour especially after the impressive win in Sri Lanka. The batting is really poor.

I'm quite shocked. I thought we were a lot better than this. We have players that are overhyped but I didn't expect us to be so poor.

We’re definitely better than we’ve shown in this tour, although top order batting has been a problem for a while. Shows that you can’t just rock up and win test matches with no proper preparation. And they clearly thought they could just roll over the Windies. Poor.

Its a shame for sky as well, they have umpteen experts at the ground and at home but even they are struggling to polish a turd!
Enjoy Rob Key's contributions. A great thinker of the game.

England have never been very far away from a batting collapse even when they’ve been on a real roll of form. I think part of it is down to mental fragility coupled with a weak spot or even two at the top of the innings.

I appreciate that seeing both teams bat allows a better judgement of performance but from what we’ve seen from the first two Tests then England are second best by a country mile. This dead rubber should be treated very seriously with it being Ashes year.

It goes to show how well Anderson and Broad have done. Their success has papered over batting issues.

I agree that they have lost a little edge and I hope that Broad’s change of action can prolong him for another year or two. As for the batting whereas passing 400 in the first innings was almost nailed on, 400 over two innings can now prove to be difficult.
