England decided to start playing.

Not a good summer to be an Aussie at the moment.

There's never been a good summer to be an Aussie.

Do England have the best bowling attack in the world at the moment?

haha!

I think anyone would find it very hard to convincingly argue against it. They are just continually pulling the batsmen out of the ****

On par with S.A . Steyn and Morkel are a formidable attack

Can't disagree with that.

I just hope Cook smashed a good few runs in the second innings. He's world class.

250 will be enough to beat these . If Anderson can get a few more rabbits like that Phil Hughes then they could be in for a torrid summer .

Lets hope we bat like adults in the second innings , no need to go for every fu**ing ball in test cricket , school boy error !

What a debut - and only 19! Losing 5 wickets for 9 runs in 32 balls, thought it was over, but, yet again, a ninth wicket stand of 50+.

Still would take this at the close of our innings yesterday.

Make that 80+ with the 19yo debutant batting at no11 making a fifty. Finn's bowling was shameful. He had no idea. Bressie would have yorked him ages ago.

Not by a long chalk. Anderson and Swann only.

100+ partnership? From elation to deflation in under an hour. Gotta love The Ashes.
