I'm also a bit curious about Tremlett. He looks like he bowls at club-quick pace, whether that is just the cameras or not I don't know. With an extra 10mph, he'd be class.

Tymal Mills is the fastest we have, just needs to learn about the highest levels really. Will pace even work against the Aussies though, when you consider they've grown up on fast, bouncy tracks.

They made us look like cowards yesterday, an absolute humiliation from which it takes a while to return.

Oh for goodness sake. Tymal Mills bowls fast filth. It doesn't swing, he doesn't take wickets. Hitting people is easy, getting them out no so much.

Trott's acid test will be at Perth.

Australia could play 4 fast bowlers(possible James Pattinson and he's rapid). So there'll be no hiding.

I can't see him struggling as much at the Adelaide Oval, as it's been pretty batsmen friendly this season.

Don't know if it's my imagination, but the picture sky use of Cook makes him look like a pirate.

Cook's bat looks like it doesn't have GN branding on the edges...

EDIT: It does, just well hidden under fibreglass tape...

Hard to deny the Aussies haven't been the best side and have really roughed England up. What I do find comical is all of the stereotypical Aussie sledging machismo stuff is now coming out. When they were losing they didn't say a word

Bit like no aeroplane runs from Anderson I guess..... I don't see too many losing sides sledging but when England were winning they did their fair share to be honest

I agree with your sledging comment and I'm an Aussie.  I really don't see the need for it.  Just play the game.

179 is pretty pathetic. Pitch was still flat and good for batting.

I my opinion hearing Clarke say to Jimmy Anderson "get fing ready for a broken arm" is bordering on disrepute, especially from the skipper.

I heard arm, guess it doesn't matter what the threat was.
