Terrible test for Cook. Captaincy seems to be weighing heavy on him.

England benefitting from Australia's weakness as opposed to their own strength

Seems to be ATM. He is quality, and will come good. This match shows why test cricket is just the best format, by a mile.

i think Trott has had a shocker batting this Ashes.

...seems odd that the follow-on isn't being enforced when the wicket is doing a bit. They obviously feel it will deteriorate further and Swan can work his magic on the last day.

Wouldn't have followed on either, you want to be bowling last on this wicket with Swann in your team and their terrible ability to play spin.

Agreed, i think its a fairly overrated concept, if you bat first you dp so with the intention of bowling last,especially with a four man attack

Michael Clarke was going to commit murder at the end there wasn't he?

We dont like losing thats for sure. But then again, we did have the best team in the world for many, many, many years. I just wish the forum was around when Mullally was chucking his pies down.

Mullally was an Aussie

Thought he was gonna slug Haddin after missing that catch.
