If I was Clarke I would have Patto start in the morning with the sole target to bowl at Jimmy's hand. Lets face it without Jimmy the England attack is pretty weak and will no doubt have the same crumbling effect as McGrath 05

lol let's not get too excited, Bairstow got out to a terrible full toss which should have gone to the boundary, and Prior gave his wicket away cheaply as he usually does, Bell's was a decent ball though

Was Australia's day but I fancy England to put on close to another 100 with the strong tail we've got

We gonna act like Bairstow batted like an amateur and was lucky to see 30

BRB had had stumps totally destroyed by Siddle

BRB have never seen such amount of bad pull shots in one innings

Really don't know why England select him made worse that he is taking Compton's spot which with Compton opening and Root in the middle order the team would be 100% stronger

No more then 50 runs I reckon

Do actually agree with that lol, Bairstow is too dodgy a batsman to be in the team on that alone

Don't rate the England selectors at all tbh. On these dry wickets I would have Monty in aswell ahead of Finn/Bresnan if you were to drop Bairstow for Compton it would more then make up for Monty's limitations batting wise

350 will do nicely

Look at Swanny smashing Harris around

Got nothing to lose here, seems they're just hitting out?

if test cricket was like this all the time it would be better

All the games would be over in about 2 days though lol

Massive edge

good

A lot better than I thought we'd get after yesterdays terrible start!

Need a few early wickets here, 2 wickets before they reach 50 would be nice, get the openers out before they can get going

Needed that Wicket

The Aussies are so useless with their reviews

don't get how they are saying this is a 450 pitch when the average here in the last 10 test matches is 320 i think some stat said on ssn before

What a ball :joker: the sort of wicket I normally get

Surprise Surprise Aus on the end of another rotten decision. I know there is such a thing as hometown cooking but this has been beyond pathetic this series

Feel for Rodger Watto is one of my fav players but he needs to stop wasting reviews Rodgers do doubt would have reviewed that if not for the earlier one from Shane

Interesting you say that just as Erasmus gives not out to a very strong LBW shout :pipe:

Ok well I'm not so sure about that one

LOOOOOOL add Hughes to the catalogue of rotten ones how the **** can that be given out FACEPALM there is a reason Prior didn't go up

Is an audible little noise there though

Steve Smith has a punchable face
