If there's a better, quicker, more efficient method, I've not heard of it.

Another wicket and it's just about game over. England need a big partnership here, although I have zero fait in Bell in these situations.

Bell's the absolute epitome of a flat track bully.

Lovely statistics, but how many of those runs have come against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe?

Ashes cricket should come with a health warning!!

Those 2 contentious 3rd umpire calls look like they've well and truly f-ed England over now. 219/6, gives England a 154 run lead.

First Class cricket full stop should.



No questions on our own batting ability, then?

Of course there is, however you take the 90 runs off the first innings from Aus this game is well in England's favour, and had Trott not been incorrectly dismissed then England's advatage would be even greater. Obviously, England haven't helped themselves, Bairstow's lack of form, and KP and Prior's impaitence will probably be more concerning for the England management.

We'll win easily Aussies won't score 200.

Can't believe all the fuss that's being made of Broad not walking. I was always told (by my dad who was an umpire) "Don't walk, let the umpire make the decision and if he gets it wrong carry on."
With the exception of Gilchrist the only time any other Aussie would walk was if his car broke down
