Erm, we've, erm, got them exactly where we want them.

Still not good enough, even though England are supposedly playing a team ranked lower in the world than them!! 3 days of poor cricket from England, batting, bowling and fielding!!

England bowled as well as they could this morning with the new ball but were really unlucky and once Hussey and Haddin got through that they grew in confidence.

England need a min 370 to set at least 150 on the last day, over to the batsment now but that 300 partnership looks to be a match winning one.

I'm sorry, I can't agree....apart from a freakish, once-in-a-lifetime partnership from Hussey & Haddin, there is nothing between these 2 sides....In fact, I'd go as far as to say that our bowlers are better than theirs.

Even if we get beat in this test (as looks likely), I wouldn't be too down-heartened.....One thing I'd definitely love to see though is this review system getting binned.

Yeah, cos our bowlers took a hat trick didn't they, our batsmen scored 100's didn't they, the Aussie fielders dropped catches and miss-fielded as many as Englands didn't they.

Face it, England were supposed to be the better team going into this match, but 3 days in they have proved little of that. Anyone watching this match can clearly see the Aussies are still better than England, in every department, and if England get crushed in this test, it just sets it up for the usual hammering England get when they go to Australia!!

I see little point in discussing this with you as you obviously know little about the game....Yes, Siddle took 6 wickets, but I'd actually suggest that Anderson has bowled twice as well as him in this test.

I'm not saying that the Aussies won't deserve to win this test, but to suggest it sets them on course to batter us again is being extremely pessimistic....As I said, take away the freakish 300+ partnership (which happen very seldom) and this game would be on a knife-edge.

Post of the year.

In fact...forget that.. post of the century

I dont care if you think Anderson bowled the best spell of bowling the game has ever seen, fact of the matter is he only took 2 wickets and went for nigh on 100 runs. Looking like taking wickets and actually taking them in test match cricket is a totally different thing. The highlights might look good for Anderson, but the scorebook doesn't lie. Fact is England folded under the pressure with the bat, as usual, and their bowlers hardly looked like getting a wicket. Swann is supposed to be the number 2 bowler in the world - has he shown anything like that in this game so far? No!

Agree to disagree, Mike???......I'm guessing you are going for a 5-0 again then??....I'll stick to my 2-2....

Is Swan one of the many South Africans in the England side?

Barry, are you a professional nobhead??....

I agree. I think we will improve and the point I was trying to make that apart from Hussey & Haddin, the Aussie performance hasn't been much better.

Admittedly, Siddle bowled well, but England seemed intent on giving him cheap wickets, whereas Anderson had no luck against Hussey & Haddin.

Yes, we have to improve, but this is definitely not an unbeatable Aussie team.

Personally I feel England bowled well and very disiplined at the Australians in there First Innings. Brad Haddin and Mike Hussey but on a freak partnership that will be the highest partnership of the series.

I would like to see England show a statement of intent tonight. If we can smash 350 or so today and another 100 on the 5th morning I would like to see us declare and send the Aussies in. That pitch will be horrific to bat on the 5th day.
