Aussies beginning to look like they'll build a match-winning innings here, our lack of a world class spinner is showing and Lyon will be the difference when we're chasing a total...
We're still playing cautiously, which is ok, we need to start getting some more runs on the board to set a target. Smith, well you can boo him but even the most ardent pom must be able to see he is a great cricketer
They were just saying Lyon's record towards the end of a test is his worst. But I agree, looking more than difficult for England now. Ali confuses me, capable of brilliance with both bat and ball but not really consistently good enough at either for me.
Love watching him to be fair, his unorthodox technique and bizarre positions he gets into are very entertaining.
No real pressure from the bowlers, looks like the Aussies could bat through to declaration and have half an hour with their pacemen at the end of today, they must be favourites now...
Well he wasn't but a really good innings, Wade is doing well and Paine seems to be wanting to score a little quicker.
To be honest it could go either way right now and it would be a shame for the weather to get in the way. England can score quickly as they have proved in the World Cup
