For Rogers next act, it's....... drum roll...... out hit wicket. And look at Clarke getting suckered in to that set-up, Watson getting out the same way over and over, Haddin being pretty much Haddin as dozy as usual, our senior players are headcases,

I reckon some of the umpires cope badly with sitting in the magic box due to their egos. They want to actually make the decision rather than just review the one the onfield ump made. I have no other idea why there has been such an outstanding run of bullshit from them in this series.

Watson is Anderson's bunny now. All that thrashing around of second division county second string attacks is being shown for what it is. Honestly, I wish he'd retire from test cricket.

It's easy. Senior players are sacred and don't take many batsmen on tour so none of the hacks feel too insecure, that stuff is for the bowlers. Harris is bound not to back up. The next attack will be Sids, Starc, Bird and Lyon.

Greg Chappell was state liaison or youth development or whatever stupid role they gave him for a few years and he was going around the states telling coaches that they were looking for David Warner style players. This was only 2 years ago. So I can see you not getting your wish.

The state teams have plenty of 'kids' as you call them. Seriously, they have. The PONI's, like Nic Maddinson and Mitchell Marsh get given automatic spots in their Shield team pretty much regardless of how they perform. We have a 19-year-old, a 23-year-old and two 24 year olds, in the team at...

Well, we will probably find out if he wants to publicise a biography in 10 years or so.

I think Agar and Pattinson might be rested next test. **** knows what they do with the batsmen. I genuinely have no idea. I'll bet the selectors feel the same.

Yes, stupid behaviour is completely catching in this team. They should all be told 'unless you've nicked it, on ya bike as it's the most open secret in cricket that none of us can judge an lbw or indeed any other review'. I have to say - apart from the innings last week at TB which was a...

And that's the Ashes done and dusted. Unless of course Cook lets Root bat to 300 and then it rains out a couple of sessions...

He's spent over 12 tests there, I think you'll find.

What a pig's breakfast that innings was. You have to laugh. Usman looked about as secure as a 15 year old who REALLY hates facing spin in there and that yahoo that he played deserved everything he got. I'd like to see Watson batting 7. **** him, he's been batting like someone's grandma for 2...

Are you aware of the difference between Clarke's record at 4 and his record at 5?

That is an overt example of what's been going on for a while now. Our batting really does stink. Clarke needs to go back to 5 now and I mean now or you can kiss goodbye to substantial runs from him.

There was another ridiculous use of DRS by Clarke. I hope Agar or Haddin doesn't get dudded tomorrow morning or he's going to look an even bigger fool/chancer than he already does.

Yes, the chase feels far too much now and it's only going to grow.

Someone needs to start an Ashton Agar thread - something like: Is Ashton Agar a realer deal than Mozz, Phil, Steve, Show... please add any other overhyped player we've had in the past three or four years or so.

I think Lehman is a good choice regardless of where he's from. And I don't expect the team to perform much better under him in this series than they would have under Arthur. Can't make a silk purse and all that.

It's probably because most of them are not suited to trying to play time. Might as well get runs as fast as you can because they won't be hanging around.
