Hopefully on his own terms, after he's seen us home in our 2nd innings!!
Steve Smith is batting down at 7 for the Aussies, yet hasn't bowled a single ball yet, another sign of Australia's confused selection policies.

Looked like Bell got away with one to even it up.
Seems odd that on this occasion so much faith was put in hotspot whereas in the last test the view was rightly taken that it can get things wrong. There was a fairly clear noise as the ball passed the bat, once the replay proved the ball couldnt have hit anything but the bat they should have stuck with the original decision.

| What a shame this series has to end, brilliant stuff from England, after all those years of watching various Aussie teams giving us the run around it's great to see them squirm.

| Great stuff from England ... let's get a few more rather than chuck wickets away in some mad thrash.
We should be quite happy with running time down, such that the Aussies can't possibly win.

The same class they showed again when booing Bell's century
Morgan in for Collingwood for the Sri Lanka series, I reckon. He should still be one of the first names on the teamsheet for 1-day games though.

| Brilliant, another two centuries and a 500 + score in the offing!!
Hopefull we will get a lead of 250-300 and then bowl them out without having to bat again. Pleased to see Bell get his first Ashes ton.

It was fairly limited and the aussie players seemed to be applauding.
I think an aussie player, playing in england, would have received a fairly mixed reception in those circumstance. Any batsmen that needs to have a discussion with his partner over whether to ask for a referral to establish if he has edged the ball is surely playing the system?

don't write him off just yet - he's a class player who is having a bad time - it happens to them all from time to time - saying that,it would be nice to see Morgan given a chance

But at 34, and having a bad series, it's time for the selectors to look to the future and look at giving the likes of Morgan a go in the next series. Bell upto 5 and Morgan in at 6.

Don't think the Aussies can have too much scope for complaint after the ridiculous appeal on the catch by Hughes.
Crowds here seem to have funny standards. Ricky Ponting was booed everywhere in the last ashes series, whereas Shane Warne didn't get any stick from the crowd when coming back from his suspension for performance enhancing drugs.

Punter is a (bad tempered) Panto villain, i think he knows there was a fairly healthy level of respect in the booing.

| IIRC wasn't Warne's ban for using a diuretic which is on the banned list because it can be used as a masking agent for performance enhancing drugs, rather than for failing a test due to performance enhancing substances?
Job done in this game - bat on as long as we can then see if the Aussies have the stomach for batting 4-5 sessions to save the game when the series has already gone.

| I watched Clarke, on the news, try to defend Hughes against Botham's assertion of cheating.
Made himself look a complete c*nt.
Botham was right.
