Shame about the other 333
Not much of a fan of this BT coverage, maybe it will just take a while to get used to the Oz Fox style? And Matt Smith?

Sorry folks, I haven't had time to fully catch-up with the overnight action.
I'll try to give you a full report on the England fightback later...

Test matches can twist and turn in an entertaining manner, but the smart money must be on a heavy defeat, possibly by an innings.
I wonder if the racism scandal has had any impact on the England team.
Root has largely kept out of it by turning a deaf 'un, but he has, quite reasonably, been asked about it several times.
Professional sportsmen can easily be distracted, although the Aussies' sexting former captain doesn't seem to have done them any harm.

I doubt it. I think the key factors are that the team is a) Ill prepared and b) not as good as the Aussies.

They don't seem too fussed paying Vaughny to commentate over there either?

C playing away, which is a huge disadvantage in cricket.

Banging donk
D Not playing the best team we could have fielded for the conditions
E Not taking advantage of those moments the game turns on

But apart from that ... it's all looking pretty good.

I'm not sure Broad instead of Leach would have made much difference @Bonefish Blues, our batting let us down badly.

I'm worried about Jack's ability to rebound from his being brutalised in wholly unfavourable conditions in a way that I never would be about Broad I guess.
...and taking our chances in the field would have made a key difference. It's almost as if we'd written this game off before we started.
