Oh dear oh dear oh dear..... COOK gone first ball.... Can the mental disintegration disintegrate any more.

[awp]

Opening the batting is unreal, but you do get the occasional unplayable ball, cooks copped a couple this series.

Watto can only get a score when he has free reign to play a 20-20 knock. His dismissal sums him up as a test cricketer...

Not much pressure on either Watson or Warner allowing them to just tee off.
No answer from the English, no heart and seemed a real lack of desire. 3 series losses in a row will have hurt the Aussies and it shows with the quality cricket they have played.

Just a matter of time now, can not see any way in which England will save this test with a day to go.

Only benefit is now England can maybe blood Ballance, Finn and Rankin in Melbourne now the series is lost

Might as well give Monty a game too - swann and Anderson have been underwhelming for me so far.

Yep neither have been up to their usual standards. Monty didn't do a terrible job in Adelaide, got through plenty of overs

Anderson is knackered mate, needs a rest.
Its concerning, I would think, that a few players have 'gone' mentally.swann is one of them.

Clarke taking too long to bring Smith on. Bell hates leggies no matter who it is...

Agreed, I think we'll see him shortly

Changed my mind.  Stokes looks a real prospect.  Didnt think he looked much chop with bat or ball in adelaide.  I do think aussies are bowling poorly to him. Pitch it up.

Good period from Stokes & Bell this.

Stokes almost makes New Balance gear look good.

Almost.

At least it's a bit of fight shown for once

[cricketbadger]
