Soon as the lights come on i can see us being 6 down at the end of play. Be lucky if we get 220.

Aussies almost fucked up thinking about ticket sales rather than inforcing the follow-on but we're not good enough to take advantage.

Probably would be best of treating it like a 50 over match. Playing cautiously will just drag the loss out.

Well the defeat is on as predicted but if one of our top batsman(Cook) gets out to balls like that of lion there is no hope.
Hopefully this will be the last we see of Cook on tour after this series,been a good un,but time to go now

There's more chance of it being over today than England getting anywhere near the total. All this talk of England being back in the game is bollocks. 130 wasn't that bad of a score for the Aussies and the thing for England is to do that when it matters. I remember in 06/07 we won sessions and got ourselves in decent positions but ultimately we were obliterated. History repeating itself unfortunately.

And replace him with who? He's out of form t the minute but he's by far the best that we have.

Even if you lose this one which is not nailed on by any stretch yet I wouldn't give up on you still coming back to at least level the series.
Our batting line up is very brittle and if Lyons can't get any assistance on the other harder pitches to come you might score enough to put us under a lot of pressure.
As mentioned by a number already two pretty ordinary lineups.
Who would have thought two years ago that Lyons a then second string spinner could decide the outcome of an ashes series (LOL).
Minor triumph if we make it to Day 5.
Worth an open top bus tour I'd have thought.
A lot still to go in this one I wouldn't give up on your lot getting over the line still.
I took a nibble at the 30-1 on offer yesterday and could now back the aussies and still come out on top but I think they will drift still before the match is decided.

He will get this series and next summer test series they won’t drop him this series and who else would play there Hales?

Whatever you're smoking I'd put it down now.
Since when have England ever come back from 2-0 in Australia?
