With the Ashes more or less wrapped up already, I'm genuinely lamenting the absence of quality from the Australian team. I remember hearing Aussie pundits saying the same thing in 2006 after England folded like a pack of cards on the last day in Adelaide (2nd test) and went on to lose 5-0, yet...

Theoretically, 566 is gettable in two games, but nevertheless pretty much unheard of. I think they'll bat an hour tomorrow, let Root make his 200 if he can, and then have the best part of two days to bowl them out. The reason they are still batting is that the pitch gets worse with every...

Joe Root's double century?

I make your assessment of him just about right. However, he remains one of the most talented batsmen in the world.

I'm not even convinced Compton is a test batsman to be honest, well certainly not good enough to get into this team. On another note, how poor has Ashton Agar been? He hasn't looked remotely like taking wickets in this innings, except the very occasional ball that bounces strangely out of the...

I thought his fingers were underneath it and that he clung on with the ball wedged between two of them. I'd have given it, personally.

Should have been out, imo

Routine nick and keeper/first slip both leave it. Absolute shite. Haddin is having a nightmare. That was his, as was that missed catch earlier today.

Actually I doubt the win percentage will be much different, but I think they probably do better in attempting to bat for the draw.

Panic over. :cool:

Looking forward to the ironic cheers when Australia get to 100. But first things first, a couple of wickets for us to celebrate before then.

I have indeed called that wrong. Australia have been embarassingly poor here. Geniunely shocked.

Don't be a nob. England were 28/3.

Complete DRS flids. :laugh: :lolol: :laugh: :lolol: :laugh: :lolol: :laugh: :lolol:

They've reviewed this one now, and he could well be out!

You think Australia exceeding 300 with ease is a LUNATIC suggestion? It might be incorrect but "lunacy" is pure arrogance on your part. Apart from anything else, Australia usually win here. Our two best bowlers are indeed good, but Broad is patchy and Bresnan is a trundler - teams that truly...

So much depends on Anderson and Broad doing some early damage. Broad will go for plenty I reckon, but that's OK if he's taking wickets. And if they do take wickets, this is going to be tight. If not, I don't see Bresnan doing an awful lot and that will be one end regularly left open and I can...

Yes. :(

48 in 39 balls. LIKE.
