Seems to be a lot of mind games.

Maybe someone read on here about Mitch's confidence.  1-53 is a relative failure compared to 7-whatever in the first innings and the stuff in the last test.  Even the wicket he hot was more down to a bad choice of shot than actually getting someone out.

I'd say this is a victory for the English. A very very very small victory, but all the same.
Get in side his head more, let him blow up big style in Perth and you never know.

As Hans Gruber once said, "Christmas is a time for miracles"

You must get your drugs from redink.....

Very, very good drugs indeed!!!!

It's all about baby steps.

First, stop getting blown away by Johnson.

Get past 200 for once.

Win toss and bat.

Put 600+ on as Johnson goes 0-175

Bowl Aussies out for 12,twice.

Win in Perth and the following two games.

See it's all part of a bigger plan. Steps one and two done, now for the next test.

A successfully new number 3
First 100 partnership
First time past 200
First time batting a full day.


Hopefully we can keep Australia in the field for least 2 sessions tomorrow so there tired for Perth.

Where we get a fresh Brennan to replace a spinner

At last some positives on the batting front. Bell, Root and Carbs look like they know what they're doing. Just need to get Cookie and KP going and bring Bairstow in at 6 and we might stand a chance.

would like to see prior get some runs too, more for his own confidence than anything else

What exactly is Bresnan going to add?

80mph gun barrel straight medium paced cannon fodder?

Perth is a fast bouncy wicket.

Pick a proper fast bowler.

Not bit and pieces like Bresnan.

Got somespare if you want some?

Could do with some before midnight

Told the missus that I will be staying up to watch the cricket. Said its the last night, little does she know this is only the 2nd test.

If only she could understand that I still want to watch cricket even though it looks like it will be an embarrassing loss.

Not sure how accurate the weather forecasts are on I phone but they have 70% chance of rain until 14.00 hrs in Adelaide at the moment...keep praying

[mk_chappo]

Just had a look at the weather forecast. Look like a few rain showers possible. I would be happy to stay up all night watching it rain !
