Time for bed. Well done England, far too good for us this test! Bowled exceptionally well. Hopefully we regroup and make a game of the 2nd.

England couldn't even beat West Indies a couple months ago ffs
Oh yeah, not even close really but this has been pretty bloody good.
Yeah no way. The crime side is just no where near as good this time. Not saying we will walk it or anything but it is just not similar at all.

This has been a very lazy performance by Australia on a wicket that doesn't suit them, and they made little attempt to adapt.

This was really a horrible game for us - sloppy bowling in the first dig, reckless batting and throwing away starts and that atrocious drop by Haddin. Hope we regroup at Lord's.

Exactly why I say that Watto is a mental pygmy
Guy only has 20 fc tons and a ridiculous number of test 90s
2 fc matches in lead up to this test were typical - pummel bowlers everywhere before getting himself out and hence the 42 average
n.b. I am not defending him and think he has been given waaaaaay to many chances for someone of his output

Probably the best summary of this match.
Watson's international career will have ended today. Been a fan of his but I think he has become a little lethargic in the last couple of years. At least he ended the ODIs as a World Cup winner, in which he played played his part. He is one of those guys who should have had a batting average in the low to middle 40s and bowling average around 30. A batting average of 35 and bowling of 33 is pretty decent but he hasn't been a big match winner in the mould of even someone like A Flintoff, who is actually a lesser player than Watson but made more of his career.

Makes me wonder if one of the LMS players is actually someone from the England camp
