We need to bowl well tomorrow, just pointing out the obvious there. Either that or hope Auystralia bat as badly as we have.

What do you think is any good then ? He's not pro-active enough for my liking and too conservative. And I don't think this England side are hungry and ruthless in fact they're pretty gutless and I think that stems from his demeanour. Change that and he becomes a good captain, as it stands he's just average. Well he is no more or less pro active than Strauss and he was pretty successful ....Cook is virtually the same in his captaincy ,thats why he succeeded Strauss....it's The England management 's mentality that stems from Andy Flower that dictates the policy , Cook just applies it on the field .....with a big input from Flower

Declare overnight, then press home the advantage of runs on the board

Blimey, on hols and just found somewhere with wi-fi. That scorecard doesn't look good at all. Talk about going off the boil?

Good day for the Aussies...... at last. Have to hope that the batting gets on with the job tomorrow, especially Dave Warner. Don't you love the pantomime with Davey being cast as the villain. Given his background he will be relishing the thought of smacking a few runs in front of a hostile crowd. This was the first opportunity to see the Durham ground and have to say that it's very impressive on the TV. The development of the facility over 10 years must have been extraordinary.

Australia to get the ashes back in the next series. Dont't. Hold your breath .....we haven't gone from being a good side to going a bad one in the space of six days .....despite what one or two doom and gloom merchants may say on here

losing this test (if we do) might be good for us in the long run. Give some of our players a wake up call up the order that they need to do more than just turn up to beat this aussie side, particularly when we go down under. Too many players owe runs.

Booooom! Bye Warner! Nothing wrong with that length ! Made me chuckle the other week when Bumble did some sort of Q&A and the question to him was "What do you mean by back of a length?" to which he replied "Just short of a good length" Tickled me because to someone who doesn't know what that means it clears nothing up

Shocking review! England have been congratulating themselves about their ability to judge reviews and they decide to review a ball that pitched nearly 6 inches outside leg stump.

Same here with my Alium and Tulip bulbs I just found his reply funny, even though he was actually wrong. As usual. With that review there, for me the 3rd Umpire should have said "Tony, have you given that LBW or Caught Behind?" if Tony Hill says "Caught Behind" then you check that with hot spot and sound and that's it. You don't check an LBW after because that leads to all kinds of confusion and that's not why he's given it out.
