Trott long gone, Swann the quitter gone and Prior dumped like a fat chick with bad breath. Unless we seriously play at a much lower standard I just can't see us losing to this bunch of sooks.

Bairstow and Monty in for the Poms. Be scared Australia, be very scared :lol:

Must admit im a tad disappointed with Clarke's decision to bowl.
We are 3-0 up and the MCG is traditionally a road, would of loved us to knock up a big score today. Perhaps he still has memories of our capitulation in 2011

No wonder Watto has so many back and hammy problems, have a look at how quick he stops when he gets Carberrys wicket, no follow through at all

A correct follow through would have interfered with his celebratory "look at me" pose after the wicket.
