What's the speed gun on Stanlake? Because he's doing nothing with the ball at all. Just looks like straight up and down medium fast and he's getting the treatment yet again.

Botham is in agreement about the total. Two batters on a 100 and one on 60 then he would expect 350 minimum. He feels they are at the very least 40 runs short.

When you consider England in the series you expect to need at least 350 to be competitive, so I really don't understand the point in Australia's batting effort other than an effort from individuals to save face. It doesn't matter how many you lose by. Losing is losing.

Australia's effort with the bat is looking a bit silly to say the least. Cruise control from ball one for England. Australia needed 400+ to beat England on this pitch.

Australia need to wake up to reality, not enough high strike rate players in their team. Dropping Maxwell was criminal. Marsh needs to wake up to the reality of the era. As does Finch on today's evidence. You can't hit a 100 in these conditions at only a run a ball.

400 needed to make this competitive.
Australia seem to have forgotten they almost conceded 500 the other day. Batting first they are delusional if they thought they had a hope of winning with 310. I agree 400 required, I even think 380 would have been chased with at 10 balls to spare.

Sick of the England filth slagging us off... every 2nd word is sandpaper.

Give us our full power side against there's and we'd blast em off the parks.
Pommy scum!!!

Weren't these unknown flop bowlers, beanpole and the two Richardsons, successes in the Burger Slam Bam KFC Bash or whatever it is you Aussies get fixated on over the winter?

That’d be one of the formats Australia beat England in over the same time frame?
