That's a potential long term injury for a pace bowler ....I hope for his sake that its only a minor stress fracture .....he must be doubtful even for the return series in Australia We shall have to see if it means the return of Johnson

I have seen an Aussie side in such disarray. I don't think they have a player who would get in the England team

Clarke would.....but he is the only one instead of? Barstow for certain and he is as good as anyone else in our middle order .... he is struggling a little with his back i think , but he is a world class batsman who would warrant a place in any team in the world

Disappointed England didn't do this at Lords when they were all those runs ahead, I can see the Aussies getting a real tonking at Old Trafford, Cook, Trott and KP (if he plays) have yet to make any real runs apart from a 50 here and there if they all fire combined with the Aussies spin weakness both in bowling it and facing it, I can see an innings and 200+ runs defeat for them coming.

To be honest England don't have a bowler of Lillee's pace to warrant a field like that ....he was in the express bracket ....you have to enforce a follow on to win by an innings , something England don't do any longer

As for winning by an innings it's still possible if you bat second without enforcing the follow on but I think england need to change their practice and start enforcing the follow on against the aussies, they've won the series already need to inflict some serious defeats so they're running scared when we go down under.

It is possible to win by an innings by batting second of course but for the most it's normally by the side batting first scoring a large total ,bowling their opponents out cheaply , enforcing the follow on and then bowling them out for a second time .....it used to be the norm that you get the game won as quickly as possible .....for my money you go for the jugular and get them in again and out again !.....of course you are correct about the field setting ....no one would set a field like that during a normal passage of play

James Taylor to play for Sussex against Australians at Hove from Friday. So we may know KP's replacement if he doesn't recover.

If there's one thing pissing me off about this series, it's the fact that the media are almost berating England for dominating. We got battered by Australia home and away from 87-05 and then again in 06/07. A good result for us was to snatch a test along the way for a bit of pride. Yet as soon as the boot is on the other foot, it's such a shame that the England are smashing the Aussies so much that the series isn't compelling.

There is no doubt I would prefer to see us beating a better Australian than the one thats here .....you can only beat whats out on the field though , and as you say after some of the drubbings we suffered over the last 20 odd years , it doesn't take any of the satisfaction away from it at all and I can only see more of it over the next few series if the reports of the poor quality of their domestic cricket are correct . However poor England were over the years ,I don't think we ever put a side out as poor as the present Australian one , and we had Warne and McGrath to contend with as well
