jeez what's going on here. batsmen relying on the bowlers again. Doesn't look enough atm.

spot on .plus by the time 2nd new ball is due they will be more or less be home

 

[neil999]

get warner and we'll do em i reckon

 

[toffeejack]

it's all too negative. 1 slip all the time, too many people on the leg side. Like the commentators keep saying, get another man in the covers.

england have a tendancy to put fielders back on the fence as soon as someone goes over the top once. One six and they put someone straight on the fence. They're a poor batting team, make them throw their wicket away stupidly like ours do. stroll in the park atm, 1 bad ball an over is always a boundary and easy singles everywhere. try something different for once ffs, slip in a yorker, get root on etc.

cooks not the greatest captain is he?! just lucky to be facing a rubbish aussie side

 

[toffeejack]

doesn't think enough at all and too negative.

doesn't help our one day team is virtually our test team. been playing non-stop international cricket for years. anderson is gone, nothing to him in this test, not even sledging when he hit kawaja in the ribs

[toffeejack]

England's batting really has been poor, not just in this series but for the last couple of years.

Aussies should win this - and deservedly so.

beauty!

i would say england deserve to lose rather than aussies winning. 1 partnership in their whole first innings and a late flurry from harris who then did everything by himself with the ball as well as some cheap wickets gifted to that spinner who can't spin.

Damn, missed that wicket typing this ha.
