When did Anderson run to teacher? If it was the Clarke incident whilst batting then Clarkes comment was clearly audible. Stupid thing to say and not very nice.
Root at 3 for me. Keep Pietersen and Bell 4+5. If Bresnan is fit lets go with a 5 man attack. Would be brave dropping to 5 batsmen after losing by nearly 400 runs.

It was audible but wouldn't take much for Anderson to laugh it off and tell the umpire to jog on..
It happens in every series and hopefully always will!

It's too soon for bresnan after the injury, looks like a possibility for the 3rd test tho. With his pace on these pitches I'd expect him to go for a lot of runs, but he does give you important wickets and useful runs.
I want to see stokes, brilliant in the field, can really punish teams with the bat and bowls mid 80s with the odd quicker ball 90+mph.
Seemed a bit childish from Anderson, most quicks would stick a bouncer on his chin or ribs and be done with it

What a way to start a series. Only 6 days played in total and we look tired and beaten... 
I fear another 5-0 drubbing, but we bounced back well from the last such result out there in 2007, winning the 2009 Ashes series.

Awful!
How can the bowler who was ridiculed on the last tour be destroying us!
Cook and pieterson need to step up here, two of our best ever batsmen should be leading by example getting runs, not giving their wickets away and starting these epic collapses!
These two got runs against the likes of Bret lee and Shaun tait, Johnson's pace shouldn't be a problem!

Since following the England team this has been the most shocking play I have seen to date.
Severely disappointed with Root and KP the way they got out.
This is the time to produce, but I am afraid things an't looking good here.
Johnson is destroying us.
Seems we can't cope with fast bowling.
Root at 3 and Bell down at 5?
Don't make sense at the minute.

Well he's acquired armfuls of tats and a Merve the Swerve 'tash for a start! Looks bloody fierce even before he starts his run: witness that stare he gave Anderson...!

Well I did say johnson was a series winner!
If you think that was embarrassing... Wait until the Perth test
At least we gave our own master class, just a shame it was in middle order self destruction
