How is Giles still ion the team? Fletcher wants his head sorting

Love Paul Collingwood, only player to come out of the 2nd innings with any pride, that blokes got similar mental toughness to most of the Aussie side, more than can be said for the likes of Flintoff, who isn't impressing me this series

[Dead N' Bloated]

Once again I spoke to soon. Who would think that after scoring nearly 600 runs in the first innings that the pommies would die in the arse like they did. Hows Warnies effort, what a champ.

Seriously we are so bad at times it hurt. we lost 9 wickets for 60ish runs.

I honestly reckon a local cricket team could get close to that on that wicket.

With the exception of Collingwood and Bell the rest don't seem to play with disipline. its great when it works but when it doesn't we are there for the taking.

its a shame coz there is no way back now IMO

[A Private Eye]

Unbelievable collapse, it looked so promising after the first innings batting as well. 

[axl_rose_700]

Am I right in thinknig that you pick batsmen to score runs and bowlers to take wickets?

[The Chad Cometh]

What do you call an English cricketer with a hundred runs to his name?

A bowler

Another good day for England, we need to make sure we keep up the pressure tmora with atleast 350 on the board, if not 400.

Monty, legend...5-92

shame he couldn't play in the 1st 2 tests

From bbc's online commentary at the start of his innings. 

"My goodness me. Adam Gilchrist appears hopelessly out of touch,"

At the start of the innings he was, but he hit his way back into form

I'm English but I think we are going to get thoroughly beaten this time. Hope I'm wrong.

Guess I wasn't.
