same here we need to win the toss for the next game in Adelaide and Bat first. Drop MJ and bring in C. White.

[Jim05]

Mercy rule at 600
Catches win matches, we have dropped 5 or 6

Disappointing to hear all the negativity. Remember that it was only two days ago that many were praising the Australians for totallly dominating England. England's performance over the past two days is very similar to Australia's on Saturday. There is a long way to go this summer. Yes, I am happy being an England supporter. Do I think we will win the series though? No.
Cheers

C White? you cant be serious

drop MJ for sure but your credability comes into serious question if you think C White should be playing Test cricket

You should have an element of confidence, there's probably only going to be one venue that will produce a result.

[CoverKing]

I too think C White should replace M North

I wouldn't care if Smokey the Bear took North's place, someone should.

credability I have none of that left LMAO. Well White for North and Douggie for MJ

[locky801]

North will probably survive cause Clarke may well be out with his injury.

Harris & Bollinger will come in to replace Johnson & Hilf

[locky801]

Theres the declaration

Engl 1/517 dec

Cook 235*

Trott 135*

Aust will be mentally and physically drained after that effort, this game is far from over, still 41 overs left for the day

[Interceptor]

from cricinfo:

So, this is only the sixth time in Test history a team has gone past 500 with only one wicket down. And it's certainly the first time Australia have been on the wrong end of it.

[White Line Fever]

from cricinfo:

Newsflash. Australia is bad at Cricket

Just when I thought we had them on the ropes.

[jackpot jim]

Imo North is the Best spinner in Australia so can't be dropped, Play him as the specialist spinner and bat him at 7 or 8

Best spinner pffft to that, on that performance he is our best bowler

[Lightning McQueen]

We should go out and and give it a red hot go, 7.5 an over, chuck Mitch up the order then close up shop if we lose a few.

[bloods08]

What's the bet now that the pitch will now turn into a minefield.

[Gingernuts]

I reckon they should go aggressive too. Batting out a draw is as good as a win for England IMO.

Mitchs batting is worse than his bowling!

Bat out the draw and move on to the next test!
