"Lead up – quarantine and Covid off field issues a nightmare! India – batters can’t bat!
"And still NOT blaming the players. It’s the system! And, I’ve been on two 5-0 defeats and they’re horrendous for all!
"My advice – DO NOT GO TO THE NETS! Get away from cricket & turn up the day of the next game."

He told BT Sport: "Yesterday we had a little bit of disruption in the morning and I think the way the guys applied themselves on the field and the way the bowling attack rallied and got us back into this game was a credit to them. https://twitter.com/btsportcricket/status/1475641312993071110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1475641312993071110%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.joe.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fchris-silverwood-maintains-there-are-positives-to-take-despite-england-ashes-defeat-308619"The way we caught in the last innings was good as well and I think there are positives coming out of this.
"We want to take something away from this series and we want to come back and compete in the last two Test matches.
"We do have some world-class players and some youngsters as well who are learning on the job constantly.
"What we have to do is try and give them some confidence, we know they have ability and we do back them."
The Fourth Test begins in Sydney on 5 January. Related links:
