First Test day four tittle-tattle

The Ashes England
comment on the article

Morning all. Looks like we're going to be starting on time after all on day four, although it's not looking great for the rest of the day to be honest. What should Australia do? Bat on throughout the day and build a massive lead? Or get a lead of 200-odd, declare and try to force the win?

What about this England attack? What have they been doing wrong? Or is it simply a case of a placid pitch and extraordinary Australian application? Anyway, get involved...

Definitely your day GJ. Not looking good for us now, but a combination of rain and dogged batting my see us home with the draw, and very well undeserved, that I have to give you.

I find it amazing that people are calling for Panesar and Broad to be dropped for the next test without even knowing what the conditions will be doh

How many tests have england won since 2005 with flintoff in the team as compared without him?
I just feel that england as a team dont play as well with him in the team, maybe they think that he will do it all for them.

You really get the feeling that even with the odd rain concern that Australia have this and that will hand them the advantage for the rest of the series in my opinion.

England had to start well.
