Johnson will be fired up after all the abuse he suffered from the England fans at Cardiff

2005 Ashes England lost by 259 runs at Lords in the first test. The Aussie team was much stronger then. England were bowled out for 155 in the first innings. We still comfortably won the series and have won every series in England since.Suddenly an Aussie side that has just made 2 emergency changes after 1 test in a series are world beaters in English conditions? I don't think so. England had one bad half session after spending almost two days in the field it. That is all.

World beaters? No, they simply need to beat an England side with a sub 100 rating in world rankings.

What a ridiculous thing to say you need to be world beaters to beat an English side that can only beat themselves on most days....

Billy Bell has started to show signs of the "Vaughan Syndrome". Getting bowled and making it look unplayable, when in fact it is poor footwork & technique

English side that beat the Aussies by 169 runs last week and a stronger New Zealand side a few weeks before that.

bell has been on thin ice for a long time. not really got many runs since the 3 hundreds in the 2013 series. 7 of his last 11 scores have been 0 or 1

Won a toss that was worth an easy 250 runs. So they should have won.....

Same English side that lost the toss here on a pitch described by all and sundry as a road, who are 4/85?

Toss decides all in England.

Bell is a lock in the team, and deserves the right to play through and find his form again. Looking to replace him is far from an option. IMO

By:

bell is 32 he probable play his last year then retire from cricket

Hope you are well.

32? Just a pup. Got another half a decade yet before worrying about retiring. This is cricket, not nippers....

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:07

I don't think stokes will last long here he will play a over aggressive shot and get out like usual

By:

BJT When: 18 Jul 15 11:07

Realistically, in this team, he should be captain.

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:08

Johnson bowling good here

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:12

hazlewood really could do gaining a extra 4 mph of pace, 87 mph is a massive difference rather than 83 mph, he has to work this out some way

By:

jucel69 When: 18 Jul 15 11:14

Bell hasn't got the temperament to be captain, even though his nickname is the "Duke"

By:

jucel69 When: 18 Jul 15 11:15

They say form is temporary and class is permanent. Bell's form looks permanent

By:

BJT When: 18 Jul 15 11:18

Bell is class, and first picked in the team for mine....

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:19

strange decision from Australia siddle has been in international cricket a long time and they rather pick a similar bowler like hazlewood

Siddle is as weak as Aussie beer

. Since he became a vegan he's lost a yard.

and castlemaine xxxx. I call beers like that nob wash, as the only thing it is useful for is washing yer c**k.
To be fair, I do like a bit of VB and Carlton full strength. Too much cooking lager (2% sh1te) for me though in Aus

By:

jucel69 When: 18 Jul 15 11:39

Just drinking some Beer Laos, bloody lovely! Also cooked some proper corned beef earlier, so that is going to go down a treat later.

By:

cook

don't be a dick alastair.

play as you normally would to lyon.

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:46

short legs have to be closer in or they are pointless on a dead pitch like this

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:47

is starc injured still?

By:

DStyle When: 18 Jul 15 11:47

i never knew the pace of the wicket affected the elasticity of a batsman's pads.

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:49

takes a specialist to field a short leg really that can read the ball of the bat

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:50

pitch outside a waste of a review

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 11:51

cant blame phil Neville there, hazlewood knew there

Australia just need to restrict englands scoring rate and hope 2nd new ball does something lol they don't look like taking a wicket at the moment

Pretty sure England are the hopers. Aus will do what they think will give them the advantage, not just sit back and hope...

you've been quiet recently BJT, did you have a break?

By:

DStyle When: 18 Jul 15 12:41

market giving england about 50 runs extra here.

By:

slip5 When: 18 Jul 15 12:42

Australia should have no gaps in slip just keep the 4 genuine slips

By:
