Surprised green was dropped. MM certainly validating the selection atm though.

Green was sore apparently - been ordinary so far anyway. :shh

Green might have to sit out another test. No way Marsh gets dropped after that absolute batting clinic. 100 off 101 balls wowee

Solid collapse here. That marsh wicket just before tea killed us.

Just walked in. Flashbacks to Victoria park days and I'm not talking about the crowd...yet

The boos have already started .

Enjoy mate
Hopefully a cracking day of test cricket

Great day yesterday mate and very long. Over 10 wickets so very entertaining.

That barmy army section was out of control but overall the crowd was fine IMO.

You can count the woman at the venue on one hand. Blokes from that area must lock their wives up, or their wives don't want to be anywhere near them :lol

Aussies pathetic after lunch  :banghead :banghead

Short pitch tactics to the tail again, not working and we are leaking runs

Should have had 80 odd run lead

But no our lead is only 26 runs

Pathetic captaincy

And our coach has a lot to answer for. He concocts these plans  :banghead

Aussies bowlers did their best to try and give England the lead after the first innings :P.

England 237 all out.

Aussies lead by 26 runs.
