are england capable.....

[Shane Warne]

ARE AUSTRALIA CAPABLE OF GETTING A BIG SCORE (400+) > Thats the question!

If they ever get to bat first on a road like England have done twice in succession now, then yes.

I dont think the pitch has made that much difference to be honest. More the application of the Australian batsmen has been lacking, combined with some poor bowling by the aussies. On the other hand i believe that england has shown good application in both the batting and bowling departments and deserved to win the last test and be on top in this test as they were/are/have been clearly the better team.

If it's a road then how come the almighty Aussies are struggling to avoid the follow on?

It's clearly changed quite a bit since the first day.

There's quite a bit of rough now in which even Giles has been able to spin it from. it's resulted in each of his three wickets as a direct result of it.

Warne didn't have any on day one.

The excuses continue.

Is it beyond the realms of belief that England have actually played well?

What are you on about ? It hasn't changed much at all ... the Aussies have just been batting absolutely terribly. Some of the dismissals these series have been awful

I would disagree on the batting terribly.

Aside from Clarke, I don't actually think the Aussies gave their wickets away.

More it was a case of good bowling.

I thought Punter's shot was pretty loose too. Good bounce from Jones (surprising too possibly as he's usually more skiddy), but I think it was a poor shot to play.

Christ, I remove this guy from the 'Ignore' list for five minutes and what do I read?

For what it's worth, Australia won the toss in the second test and PUT ENGLAND IN.

That's not going to fly, Marc.

Debating with a troll is like trying to push jelly uphill.

I believe the question is now:

Are Australia capable...?
