What they're saying about the Ashes batting debacle:
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting: "Straight away they were behind the eight ball, everyone came out and continued to play the same way, got the same results."
Former Australian captain Allan Border: "I mean you do have some crazy moments in this game but the performance in that first session, I think I'm still in shock."
Former Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy: "Their hearts might not be that strong ... are they together as a team? Do they fragment from here? Do they meet and talk about it tonight? Will they confront it?"
Former Australian spinner Shane Warne: "It looked like they were a bit shocked. There was no real plan and they should have learnt from the last Test match."

Former England captain Ian Botham: "It's the sort of score you expect to see at the under-9s on the village green."
Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, when asked if the Australian team should be stripped of their citizenship: "Yes, that has crossed my mind."
