They had their chance again!
Broad offered the edge between them and neither reacted! A chance gone, although I doubt broad will be there long anyway!
Good ton under pressure by Bell! Well played Sir!!

To be fair that edge flew, but neither of them moved an inch!

Well played by bell, crucial innings. Loving his shots to 3rd man, my 2nd favourite shot.
He certainly proved me wrong...lets just hope the bowlers have another good day and a half

Great knock by bell, best I've seen from him, still happy to see him go though...

England is in the box seat but hopefully the Aussies can dig deep and chase this total down.
A good partnership between Watson and rogers is needed

Anybody got an inkling that Australia might just do it.

Cowan is looking like a walking wicket right now.

Sheesh...talk about not having a #3.

A #3 has to be unearthed from somewhere, because watching Cowan look like a rabbit in the spot light is not a good look.

He does look very nervy at the moment. Vic what about Khawaja or dont they see him as a number 3?

I think Clarke should move to 3, as he's currently the best batsman.

Clarkes not a #3. Forget that.

Khawaja is the ONLY option at the moment.

Doolan a rough chance.

Cowan coming in makes the fielding team's morale lift the moment they see him.

Not the aura you want your #3 to be giving off.

Vic you took the words right out of my mouth. Cowan is not a no.3 batsman, he looks all out of sorts. I don't think he will be playing the next test match, unless he somehow manages a great knock this innings.
Still, our options at 3 are limited, Clark doesn't seem to want it and isn't really a no.3 anyway, Khawaja still has some issues to work out, I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

Rogers looks handy but at 31 he's not a spring chicken. I always thought Katich could have still done a job at the top, granted he's not young but has all the experience of playing in the ashes so wouldn't be overawed by the whole episode.

But I'm up on the politics of Australian cricket so dont know why he was dropped.

We wish Rogers was 31!

Rogers turns 36 at the end of August!

As for Simon Katich, he was extremely hard done by. Was averaging over 50 in the last two years of test cricket he played.
