    Australia are the better team, simple as that really and over the period of 5 tests the best side usually wins.

    This innings from England shows the gulf in class. Apart from Denly the rest of the England top order have got starts and failed to go on. There have been a few rip snorters but Denly and Stokes were poor shots.

    Australia have one world class batsman and three world class bowlers.
    We've got one world class batsman and one world class bowler.
    There's only one winner.

    I just hope Buttler and Broad will realise how important it is they get these 20 runs.

    I don’t think they will enforce the follow on so 20 is irrelevant, let’s hope they can make as many as they can!

    I'm trying to look for positives, anything to make me think we can salvage something, and the only thing that springs to mind is the weather.

    It is very much a forlorn hope.

    Im not sure they'd have enforced it, but that's a great rescue. 300 in a normal match would be a decent enough innings. Shouldn't be relying on likes of Leach with the bat to keep us in the Ashes though.

    with smith & warner, smith's batting is winning over the english cricket lovers after the cheating scandal, but if roles were switched and warner had tonnes of runs he'd still be hated, guessing it's his arrogant attitude
    300+ batting last will be hard and can't see lighting striking twice
