For the Aussies today to save face there is only one way : draw the 4th test and win the 5th to square the series and thus keep the Ashes !
The betting odds today of achieving such a feat are about 20-1 against !
There is now wild speculation of what could happen after the recent dismal batting displays of the Aussies when they return home. Will they ALL dare to face a hostile reception if they return home or will some want to remain in Britain as new immigrants ?
Even this creates problems. Jobs are available in Britain but could they still get work as Cricketers after this Tour ? Would they not be too expensive ?
As a quick-fix therapy or solution the Aussies could perhaps consult Meg LANNING who is the Captain of the Australian Women's team which is touring England at present ? They seem to be having more success than their male counterparts in their matches against England !
The entire male Australian team were out for 60 yesterday, whereas Meg Lanning, the captain of the Australian Women's team has recently scored a century ! The highest scorer for Australia yesterday was "Extras" with 14 !
Is there anything in the rules which would prevent Australia of co-opting one or two women into their team ?
