Australia underestimate this England side,
 they think they only have to up it a notch and they will be on level footing,
 which they wont as the England side are similar to the Aussies of a few years ago, in that they have been around a long time playing well and are experienced in winning test matches

 Vaughan, Strauss and now Cook its a very strong line of leadership
over here in the summer our top order batsmen did not perform and we still won 3 nill, I cant see that happening again down under and expect them to get plenty of runs,
 which will mean Australia will have to find something I don't think they have, they just think they have
of course I might be wrong and like a few others already have with their predictions might be eating a bit of humble pie come tomorow morning

In all honesty most Aussies dont underestimate this English side at all. General concensus is that they expect to lose this series and are well aware that England have the edge in every aspect of the game but you can hardly expect them to come out and say it publicly can you?

The only advantage of this accursed broken arm is that I can enjoy Ashes cricket without any of the guilt of worrying about being shagged for work in the morning.  Good start to the day's play, if we can wrap this up for 300/310 it'll be an excellent job by the boys.

Job done.

[HUCKERS79]

295 all done

[PGW]

Fair play to England 295 all out although i must wonder why Haddin tried a second run there to get run out by Carberry......nonsensical!!!

Come on England bat two days!!!

[KevinGage]

You started it.

In fairness to Pup, he was one of the first Aussies to come out and say Broad hadn't done anything wrong.

400+ here needed now. Will be great to get, not just in the context of this game and this series, but based on the last 18 months.   About time the batsmen (Bell apart) weighed in.

[HUCKERS79]

Not a great way to get out when your on 94

You ever watched Nathan Lyon bat?

[HUCKERS79]

Cook gone to Harris

[bertlambshank]

Cook's batting is turning into a major headache.

[DrGonzo]

That's a bit harsh, I know he got stuck in the crease but it was a good ball.

[HUCKERS79]

Bad time to lose trott

[bertlambshank]

That's a bit harsh, I know he got stuck in the crease but it was a good ball.

He has been doing it for so long now,he has been.found out.
