Ashes 2017/18, 5th Test: What went wrong for England

#3 Ineffective bowlers

Stuart Broad and James Anderson claimed just one wicket each as the most experienced Test fast bowling pair looked completely ineffective against Australian batsmen.

Overall, England's fast bowlers failed to make a collective impact as they let the hosts post 649 runs and claimed just 7 wickets.

Broad, in particular, has been quite unimpressive in the Test series Down Under.

The 31-year-old, who dismantled the Aussies with figures of 8-15 at Trent Bridge during the 2015 Ashes, registered the worst-ever figures of his 112-Test career during the third Test at WACA.

Before the start of the Ashes series, Australian spinner Nathan Lyon had predicted that the series may end careers of England players and it seems that the prediction might just come true for Broad.

The 31-year-old, whose last five-wicket Test haul came 22 appearances ago in January 2016 at Johannesburg, conceded 121 runs at Sydney and claimed the wicket of out-of-form Australian opener Cameron Bancroft.
