    Smith is a damn good player and won that test for Australia.

    Wade batted well and Lyons and Cummins bowled very well too? We just need to get out two openers scoring some runs now.

    Today’s performance was gutless. There was no one in the England X1 who showed an ounce of the grit, discipline, determination and mental strength required to stay at the crease for a few hours to avoid defeat.

    The Aussies must fancy their chances of winning the series already.

    It's very much too early to call the series but a victory at a venue where we haven't won since 2001 will do very nicely. Now we need 1.5 wins from 4 matches to keep the ashes

    We will keep them at Lords either way, cheating works both ways. <laugh>

    No you don't, your middle order is better than the poms

    At least we don't pay rent and every time a pom sees them they know who they really owns them.

    I have to agree with that one, I thought England had some cricketers, it appears I was wrong.

    England does have cricketers, lots of them. How good they are is debatable.

    The question is, did they get bowled out legally ? Probably not ay. ;)

    Ouch Smith might not be fit for the rest of the Ashes after Archer has finished with him
