Imploding tourists find themselves in deep black hole SO dramatically has England collapsed in upon itself, the gravitational forces now so extreme that no light whatever can escape from Alastair Cook's team, that astronomers yesterday began frantically realigning their telescopes on Perth to witness the birth of a black hole.

Was it only as recently as August 25 that Australia was saved from defeat and a 4-0 Ashes series humiliation when bad light stopped play at The Oval with England needing just 21 runs from four overs for victory?
