This short stuff from our fast-medium bowlers like Broad & Anderson is a waste of energy.

They’re changing the ball now so maybe that will help.

The change of ball has brought more swing they have dropped the short stuff.

This has been an exceptionally poor effort from England since they came on today, which is a shame as they had been brilliant the first 3 days.

We've just seemed incredibly flat. We should have been chomping at the bit to get at them with the unexpected play today

There’s an argument to stick wood on and get of for light and reset before the deficit gets wiped out?

Mitchell Marsh has a very poor record against anyone who isn't England. Why do we find it so difficult against him?

Labuschange is a cheating, eyes too close together arsehole.  He knew he'd hit, why not do the decent thing eh?

Great bowling and smart catch. Come on England.

Yes but he's Australians, what about the no decision from umpire, Menon (?)?
