I be a bit harsh as they were losing team but they did not perform at the standard they should of.The ratings are like fifia ratings so for example if you 90 overall you are really good but the lower you go like 50 overall you have not great game, let’s start shall we and they are brief.

James Anderson N/A *
No rating as he only bowl four overs and did not do a lot with bat.
Australia
Play very well and were save by Steve Smith superb batting but Australia will need to bat better and I think still question on who should open the batting. Moreover the bowlers were amazing and were helpful in the win especially Lyon who was great on the fifth day and same rating system.
