How can the bowler who was ridiculed on the last tour be destroying us!
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

Wonder if we are starting to work him out?
Nasty atmosphere today. Worse than Brisbane IMO. To my mind it takes a lot of the pleasure out of watching/listening. Surely the umpires need to step in now. Can't see Dickie Bird letting that sort of language go unchecked.

Imo he's got inside there heads, but he is himself pretty fragile mentally, all it would take is one of our more aggressive batsman to really get after him and that would nullify him for the rest of the series, the trouble is the only batsman I feel could do it is kp, but he's not in great touch atm.
Stokes and carberry have that aggressive nature but not the experience I think.
I'm not overly worried about Perth, broad and tremlett should enjoy it there, I wouldn't be surprised to see bresnan come in for swanny for that one aswell

Firstly let me say im not a great cricket watcher, however i do always try and watch the ashes,
so far i can honestly say England have been ***** !!
They all need to grow a set of nuts and actually realise they are representing their countries !! they look like a bunch of scared schoolboys , that will burst into tears coz the aussies are giving them a bit of verbals !!!
no fight, no idea, pathetic !!
its nearly as bad as that scottish **** winning sports fixed personality of the year !!

Great knock from stokes, dissapointing though that it takes a 22 year old in his second test match to show our batsmen how it's done!
Changes have to be made, I'm not a great fan of ballance but he's in form, maybe kp should miss out, if he wasn't captain cook would be next in the firing line.
swanny's getting knocked around the park and not threatening with ball or bat, I'd drop him for onions to add a wicket taker to the attack. While if broad doesn't make it it's a toss up between Finn or tremlett.
I'm really pi**ed at the lack of balls our 'top players' have shown and cook has to take a lot of the blame for being so negative! In the summer he consistently released the pressure when aus were struggling giving them the momentum here.
