i would have kept faith with finn if i'm honest, seems to get dropped every single bad game he has. bresnan needs a good knock to try and justify his inclusion because he's definitely a worser bowler

cook is desperate to get bresnan in for his batting, its another negative move, batters bat, bowlers bowl, anything else is a bonus

exactly. lets take out a wicket taker and bring in someone who may make us bat a bit longer getting 20 more runs than finn and bowl nice tidy economic spells of wicketless overs.

i still can't believe i'm seeing a night watchmen protecting a number 9 batsman! a number 9.

mind you, i'm genuienly worried how our team are ****e scared of every part time bowler who they come up against. treat them with the respect they deserve and smack them back over their head.

kane williamson and now steve smith, deary me. they try and block them out and get out to it, just like what bairstow did. that should have dissapeared into the car park

 

[toffeejack]

BOOOOOOOO, pathetic again, need to make a massive improvement in the 2nd innings like the last test. we'll be relying on the bowlers again it seems.

at least there's some turn for swann from day 1, lets hope he makes it count this time

Good effort from us Aussies nice to have 6 bowling options in the side though

 

[Bigmaclad]

England won't get more than 350 tomorrow, not good enough on this wicket

 

[Walken]

Bresnan adding 7 runs there, well worth weakening the bowling for

I was just about to come in and say the same thing

He's craaaap. No idea how he gets a game.

if the aussies can get their heads down and bat we could be in trouble, all guess work till both teams have batted though

Yeah, this is easily a 400+ wicket, England have underscored here

 

[thebluefox]

how the fuk can smith take 3 wickets ffs ,

 

[Pblueman]

isnt smith one of theirs that isnt a "proper" bowler?

Yeah he's a part time spinner, what makes it worse is the fact that he hasn't even been bowling in the nets FFS

 

[evilwebby]

Not convinced that this is an "easy" 400 pitch. Good, certainly, but you have to play very well to rack up the kind of numbers that are being flung around.

314-9 lucky to reach 330 here ladz
