I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Also I know it's been said ad nauseum but how is Jonny Bairstow in the side as keeper Jesus Christ

Urgh ffs Australia you've got KP talking crap now.
He's saying it's a difficult bowling tactic and not awful batting. Tubby for some reason is backing him up.
Sky commentary team this series is utterly horrendous.
Nas, Athers and Ponting aside it's woeful.

I would say they were victims of being ahead in the game. If Aus were behind and not looking to push the game along they would have more likely just let it go by and eventually England would have been forced to change tactics

I think a key difference is Australia have less of an incentive to just see the barrage out. They rather take the risk and score runs given they can afford to.

They're absolutely correct. It's an effective tactic for exactly the reasons Tubby was saying. You can set a field for it that makes it very difficult to score and survive. You basically have to pick one. It's Wagnerball

It's all about entertainment, isn't it. To anyone other than the English fans, he must be hilarious to watch.

Australia doing well to score at 3.2 an over. I thought it was way less with this dull tactic
Somehow England are still in this game.
First innings the last 7 wickets of Australia made 100
England need to remove them for around or less than that to have a chance

Yeah can't see them scoring runs here. Either try to roll the wrists like Smith and get a high risk single or take on the boundary

The bloke on cricinfo reckons the pitch is a little two-paced. I have no idea whether that's true or not.
