warne has just mentioned on the Oz commentary that we have been in the field every day of this series bar the last day in adelaide when it rained...?
Don't know if it carries over but excellent atmosphere last session.
Sounds like a cracking atmosphere mate. At least one group of Englishmen are doing us proud this series.

Our batsmen should be ashamed of their performances all through these tests. What a f***ing shambles, the Aussie bowlers must be pissing themselves.

He needs to take some of his "automatic" choices with him too.

You weren't far off!!
Oz commentary team mentioned it a lot, as they generally do. they have a lot of respect for the england fans, we're the only one's who come here in numbers (along with us expats) and create an atmosphere (in tests especially).

BBC Sport's Jon Barbuti: Australia have the top six batting averages and four best bowling averages in the current Ashes series. Dominant.[DOUBLEPOST=1387102837][/DOUBLEPOST]HOW'S STAT?
Opta Jim: Australians have hit the last eight Ashes centuries - 14 of the preceding 17 were hit by English batsmen. Shift.

Yes, but he is a one day batsman and never a test 7[DOUBLEPOST=1387103046][/DOUBLEPOST]
Anderson? He has been excellent for the last 3-4 years, including places where it doesn't swing. Let's not forget that in our knee jerking
It's been poor most of this game cos the ground has been too full but last session was superb. Bresnan and Bairstow clapping along to it and Prior always gets into it.
From the naked eye it looks like the pitch is breaking up but still haven't given up hope we can bat 5 sessions!
Not a lot of discussion about tonight's action I see. Anyone still clinging to a final thread of hope? Yesterday was the day, as happens in every Ashes series for the losing team, when any last shred of hope died, England skittled cheaply and our best bowler injured turned probable defeat to certain defeat in this test IMHO.
Whether we bowl them out or they declare, I reckon we'll be batting by mid afternoon, be several wickets down by the close and the Ashes lost by lunch time tomorrow. Sad to say, but it'll be nothing less than we deserve for the shambolic way we've approached this series.

The sad truth. One positive is the dead rubbers at Sydney and Melbourne can be used to try a few new players with one eye to the future.[DOUBLEPOST=1387148799][/DOUBLEPOST]

“We try to make sure we get selection right. Like everything, we make mistakes, like cricketers make mistakes. It probably is an ideal place for the taller bowlers to bowl, but we thought the best balance of the team is with Tim Bresnan in it. If we then bring another tall bowler in to have another quick, we would probably leave ourselves short somewhere else.”
Translation: brought in for his batting.

Dead rubbers I think not, do we want to lose 4/5 nowt and be completely embarrassed. Also try out who exactly? Aside from ballance we know what we will be getting and none of the backups are good enough.
