Great stuff, we have ourselves a competitive test match. Hopefully the Aussies can put a decent total on. Brilliant start to the series.

Hopefully the Barmy Army kjs can pipe down a bit now.

Pick Finn and just tell him to bowl wheels.

I fucking love it that Mitchell Johnson is the great hope for Aus. I'd be fucking terrified if I was sat at fine leg with that clown bowling.

Care to make any further comments?

It looks like we have 'under-prepared' yet again, both in terms of tactics and mindset.  Either that or we're just being generous and giving them a one-zip start and lulling them into a false state of security.  Wink

Just our standard awful first test. We always fuck up our first innings with the bat.

Last 5 away test series we have failed to get beyond 200 in the first innings.

That is pathetic, really

This really is an ongoing concern! Yes the bowling was pretty good, but you should know and expect that at test match level. It's really pathetic by every England batsman (I'm talking 1-7) that they haven't sorted this out. IMO 1-0 Australia, we've virtually given them the test match and it's a hole, again, we need to dig ourselves out of...one too many times this time though?!

Same as me Slinky! Not sure I'll watch tonight; we'll see if my mood improves throughout the course of the day!

We've gone into this too arrogant and complacent based on the summer series - which wasn't as easy as the final score suggested.

Never underestimate the Australians, or Germans for that matter (in non cricket sports)
