What a gripping game! Well done to the Aussies for taking it to the wire Well played England. Looking forward to the next game
Test cricket at its best no matter the result.
Aleem Dar needs to be shot
I think both the umpires are different for the next Test but I haven't seen the list yet

Do you mean Dar or Eramus (or both?)
Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon
An open question!
What has happened to test cricket?
1st test was not bad but... What has happened to those first 2-4 batsmen making a point and staying there, not that I'm a boycott fan. We have to make something with our first up guys. We haven't and to be honest our bowlers aren't putting the pressure on.

May the FORCE be with you!
I almost won the Ashes once... but I bowled a wide... and now I am an old drunk.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
I would love nothing more then for Shane Watson to be dropped. He is a cancer on the team and I know it has been reported recently but I agree with it. Watson plays for himself and no one else. Plum lbw last might and reviews it but everyone knew he was going to.
Take away Rogers lbw that wasn't out and every dismissal is a soft one except maybe Clarke who was set up well with the classic short ball tactic.
I said it pre-series and I still believe it our bowling matches theirs. To bowl Englnd out for under 400 first innings in perfect batting conditions was great even though the tail got away a bit but they had a bloke coming in at 11 with an average of mid 20's
We're just a big average side with the bat and I can't see it improving much soon as the cupboard is pretty bare

That was one of the most selfish acts I've seen in cricket. If he didn't know where his feet were he's no right batting like that. It was out every day of the week. I could not believe he wasted a review on that. Was looking for something to throw at the telly.
Agree with both Jargs and Shasta,nothing more to add.
Glad i wasn't the only one - I had to leave the room or my TV was going to be in a billion pieces! I had to send myself to bed at lunch. I'm glad I did too, so that I missed that clusterfuck that is the Aussie batters.That was one of the most selfish acts I've seen in cricket.

Good come back towards the end of the day Siddle bowled beautifully best I have seen him bowl for a long time.
Bowlers have been great, batters terrible. I had to turn the TV off
yep,the golf was more enjoyable
What a waste of 2 reviews. If Watson thought he wasn't out, then I'm not sure what Hughes were thinking. Driving away from your body, where else could the noise have come from?That was one of the most selfish acts I've seen in cricket.

You get the feeling that they either genuinely believe that they are not out, or hoping that they will get away with it. Think it's more the latter!
