    Brad Haddin should have retired.


    The caught behinds off Lyon went straight into his gloves, but the way Taylor, a New South Welshman who always sticks up for Haddin, and Healy who loves Haddin and from whom Haddin took over, make his every catch sound like it's the greatest catch ever taken.


    Are you forgetting about Gilly mate. the greatest gloveman/batsmen the game has ever seen.

    Sammy Whiteman should have gone over with this squad not old man nevill

    On form it could only have been Nevill. Second highest average in Sheild cricket last season behind Voges and Whiteman really had a shocker.

    Not often you see a team playing for a draw by drinks on day 1. I reckon Cook gave up when he lost the toss.

    Well done Buck and Devereux for filling their boots. Have to say I enjoyed it.

    Let's get 700 in the first dig, then give ourselves just under 3 days to roll them twice.

    Might be a task on this lifeless track though. We can only hope it will take more and more spin, and Lyon comes in to his own.

    On Sunday I was talking with a mate about how good Stoles is and he and Root look to be the way forward for England. And then he goes and gets himself run out like that.
    That had to be one of the worst pieces of cricket from someone at that level I can remember. You would drop a fourth grader for doing that.

    grounding your bat one of the first things you're taught. To see that in a Test match is just embarrassing really. Great throw Mitch by the way!

    The Aussies deficiencies against the moving ball again exposed tonight. Where would they be without Rogers on this tour. Going to need the tail to wag big time. Some of the dismissals very ordinary.

    Was the decision to bat on that green top a good one ? It's looking like it wasn't our top order is very avg baring Smithy Clarke needs runs and he needs them now we are looking down the barrel of a beating here

    It was a poor decision that has cost them the match and possibly the series? Bit of trivia for ya dungy...
    The wicket in Birmingham has a history of favouring the bowlers. In the last seven Tests the first innings average is just 252. Only one side (West Indies two years ago) has posted more than 300 in the last six first innings. Pakistan and Sri Lanka were rolled for 72 and 141 while Australia could muster only 263 in 2009.
    He should of sent England in to bat knowing In the last five Tests which have produced results, four have been won by the side fielding first. The odd one out was Ricky Ponting's in 2005.

    Clarke should retire but that won't happen just yet although he should move down the batting order and Shaun Marsh to come in for Voges. I don't see how Haddin or Watson could be picked unless Mitchell Marsh is dropped.

    19 balls - Stuart Broad, equal fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket, equalling the record set by Australian Ernie Toshack (v Ind, 'Gabba, 1947).

    Also breaks the record of the fastest five wickets taken from the start of a Test innings, beating the 25 balls by Vernon Philander (v NZ, Cape Town, 2013).

    What a debacle. Gone are the days when you had a Brucie Laird who just valued his wicket and toughed it out.

    What really astounds me is that in 2 sessions, England can put 274 on the scoreboard. Our bowlers are unable to bowl wicket to wicket and sustain any pressure.

    I love the quote by Clark ""We've got to find a way. I think we were mentally up for the fight, obviously it doesn't look like we were, but I don't want to take anything away from Stuart Broad, and England were brilliant in the field."

    The good news is that all those waiting in the wings to replace the likes of Clark, Vogues, Hazlewood are all in such good form!
