    Need to bat big this innings, anything under 450 puts us in serious trouble. Will be under big pressure 4th innings.

    We are far from in either.

    The cricket team is a very good team and saying things like that is just silly.
    Last night England didn't have any luck. The ball always went to the gaps so on and so on.
    They have to bat now and get some confidence with the bat heading into the last three games.
    Hopefully they start to win the toss and they can still win this series.
    This team won in India 12 month ago, there a good team.

    This team can quite easily go back to number one in the world. I really hope Stokes will get some runs in this match because hes the player at number 6 that they have been missing and it cost them in summer 2012 against SA.

    Luck? Ha ha ha ha. No credit for the aussies then? Maybe their batsmen are finding the gaps? No it must be our bad luck.

    Yes they are playing well but England haven't had the luck.

    I think Both Hadin and Clarke last nigh skied one each, both fell in the gaps.

    With a bit of luck England bag both of them really early. Carberrey missing a chance that he catches 999/1000 times. It was a half chance but you could tell Root thought he could have caught that one high to his right on Day one.

    That happens and the likes of Harris wouldn't have batted like he did.

    Your comment about Also rans is just not true and quite disrespectful.
    They've lost once in the last 12 completed tests.

    England won 3-0. You don't win 3-0 and get lucky.
    England played well last summer.

    All mistakes by the England players. And I never said they are also rans, I said they are heading back that way. Do learn to read old boy.

    Nothing unlucky about anything. Just woefully bad

    They have successfully mentally disintegrated us. Bottled it. The seed was sown in the summer. Johnson is bullying us, our batsmen are scared of him.

    Absolutely embarrassing.

    Our bowling 'attack' has been feeble. Our batsmen like rabbits in the headlights.

    Fair play to the Aussies though, I've enjoyed watching them. They look like they care. And Johnson is a man reborn. I do love a true fast bowler.
