Why is Broad back wearing the masuri?

[finbarr44]

We are still letting them get into our heads Stokes and Johnson have a bit of a do. Next ball Stokes faces he is out caught by Pup. Pup repeatedly from slip goes up to the batsman to have a chat, easier said than done we need to ignore the comments and get on with the game. Broad continued to have a go with Johnson all the way off the field. Lets be honest what have we got to have a go at Johnson about we are getting murdered on the field and also by the mind games.

I don't get of this "what have we got to be chirping about" stuff. If Johnson/Clarke is mouthing off then I say good on broad for having a go back. I wouldn't expect the Aussies to be any different if things were reversed.

If it goes in to wind up the bowler to get wickets then yes that's not very smart but to expect our players to shut up and take all of this from the Aussies just because we are playing poorly is rediculous

It certainly didn't get bust up facing Johnson in the 1st innings.

[finbarr44]

I was suggesting that anyone who is indulgeing in the chirping isnt really concentrating on the job at hand which surely in this case is to not lose your wicket if you are English.

[iand123]

Some players love it and inspires them. Broad has shown with the ball that people on his back can give him a kick up the a*se not sure if it will work with the bat.

[finbarr44]

I hope it does work but we are staring into oblivion at the moment. Is it too much to hope the last day will be washed out.

Forecast is for some rain but I think it's heavier over night than tomorrow. When you are praying for rain is aus you know you've not done well

Concentrate on bloody batting. Unless the Aussies go personal then just ignore them, it's irrelevant drivel which doesn't warrant a response. It's. to pat of the game unless you want It to be.

Yep, walk to square leg, breathe, dont listen, all bowlers have to walk away at some stage...... stokes fell for it, although he's not competent enough for test cricket, tried hard for a while but ended up not having either the technique or mentality to survive.  Broad just needs to worry about cricket.  I like broad as a cricketer and thought he simply misjudged the ball that got him in the first innings, but he took his eye off the ball too often today to suggest anything other than he's lost his nerve completely.  if the poms loose in adelaide theyll get murdered in perth and I think that many of this team may not recover mentally to challenge australia in the future, home or away. Natural order restored.

I agree that it's best to walk away and say nothing but to do that in the sort of atmosphere that's going on out there if imagine is very difficult. Personally I'd rather see them standing up for themselves. Although I will concede that the Aussies are probably loving every single bit of this

Very difficult, you need to be smart and set your ego to the side.  No one bothered trying to spoil tendulkars concentration, he simply wouldnt alow himself to be engaged.  The bowler has to turn to go back to his mark at some relatively immediate stage.

I'd just like to say how awesome is it that Australia are kicking (No Swearing Please)
