What an awesome day. Only blip was losing 3 wickets, but assuming we get 150-200 then the game will be over. Aussie's have a decent bowling attack but apart from Clarke have no decent batsmen. The fact Watson is heralded for being so great, yet only has 2 test 100's is appalling. All England have to do for the remainder of the series is bat first, get 300+ and the pressure on the Aussie's batsmen increases hugely.
today's been ok for england. maybe a little "slow" but roots beuilding a big innings and bell could go do a centruy. this one is won by now so its just who skittles australia out and who gets a big score.
You and Sweats really need to get those coughs looked at Great performance from him today....should have been out yesterday when he was on 14 though
good win. time to grind the aussies into the ground for a whitewash.... they'll sue it to cream us in 5 years time but its our turn.
Still worrying how hard we're finding it to get the tail out. Last wicket partnerships have put on over 250 in the 4 innings so far. Luckily it's not hurt us just yet but we need to make sure we finish it off before players get set. Overall though, a comfortable win and ashes are retained - can't see us losing the next 3.
Not at all. I never disputed his obvious talent. I just doubted the pressure of an ashes series could be detrimental. See how he gets on in the next test eh.
