England’s beleaguered batters have held “no discussions” about the repetitive nature of their Ashes dismissals, but assistant coach Marcus Trescothick insists they “respect the game”.The larger-than-life aggression that has characterised the ups and downs of the so-called ‘Bazball’ era has detonated on arrival in Australia, with a growing collection of increasingly familiar dismissals.After being shot out for 172 and 164 in a two-day defeat in Perth, England are now staring at the likelihood of another heavy loss on day four of the day/night second Test at the Gabba.
