Cook's out. England 28-1

England 55-2, Trott's out just before lunch. Similar pattern to the Australian innings yesterday.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

106-8 oh dear.

 

[Billyjof]

Aussies all out for 295. Broad finishes with 6-81. England currently 22-0 after 6 overs.

That seems like a long time ago now. Shocking days play, truely unbelievable.

On a lighter note (excuse the pun)

Oh dear, what bad day at the office

 

[pork pie fox]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say I think the Aussies will win this test match. There, I've said it.

 

[Billyjof]

Mmmmm. Completely outclassed.

Couldn't handle the pace and short stuff. Sets up a miserable week in the office. Trott, Swann and Prior are major concerns. They look way off their games. The only positive yesterday was Root looking unbeatable at the crease. Surely he'll move up to number 3 in Adelaide. Also, what was up with Clarke near the end? Get ready for a broken ****ing hand I thought was what he said. Riled, but for what? Also, that test Bailey should learn to stfu.

He's Trotted off back to the UK - stress related illness they say. He will take no further part in the Ashes.

I live here, work with them, I've said it before, "I'm only here for the weather"(and the wife)

Things are still going well!

Disaster. Great to see a bit of fight at the end but very little too late. $15AUD to get in today and the only crowd was the Barmy Army

Why is this so?

Do the Australian public simply not like Cricket any more?

They probably like a really competitive game played by adults rather than this series of one sided nonsense played by name calling children.

Graeme Swann retires according to Sky

Graeme Swann retires according to Sky

Sums up the mentality of the England players. 'This is getting a bit tough so I'm just going to feck off and leave the rest to it'. Home in time for Xmas Swanny?

No - apparently he's staying out there with his family. I trust he'll be told to make his own way back at his own expense.

Graeme Swann gives up and quits like a pathetic spoilt little girl, according to Sky

Now confirmed, I believe
