Should smash all English records and be up in the top 5 runscorers worldwide by the end of his career as long as he doesn't lose the plot completely.

Seems a little illogical that he isnt batting above Collingwood at the moment. Id bat him above KP as well, KP has been pretty horrendous bar one knock this series.

With the square leg slip, Cook needs to really play much straighter

Disagree. Not saying Beer is any good, but he's better than Doherty. He has an element of control, gives it some flight as well.
Anderson may as well throw the bat, hate nightwatchmens in the morning

Eh? Thought he played pretty well today in tough conditions to stabilise the innings. Horrendous shot to get out yes, but hardly a horrendous innings. He did the same in Melbourne, he was really important in England consolidating on that morning session when Siddle had it nipping around.

tbf without Jimmy the tail looks pretty healthy. Bresnan 9, Swanny 10, Tremlett 11.

Warne reckons the game is evenly poised, is he talking out of his arse for the sake of it?
England just 113 behind with 7 wickets left. Bat 2 more sessions (not impossible) and be around 100 ahead and that is if the Aussies suddenly find a way of taking wickets which apart from Perth hasn't looked likely all series. I know which dressing room i'd rather be in tonight and it aint the home one.

Yeah and the last 3 or 4 overs of his spell were when Cook was playing for the close which massages his figures a bit. No real threat apart from the Cook headturn which was a no ball anyway.

Scoring 30s and 40s are meaningless in the grand scheme of things, especially from a player who declared himself to be on fire at the start of the tour. I call this tour a complete waste from a player in form.

It seems like Warnie even praised Doherty, at one point.

Well I would rather be in England's shoes yes, but if Australia have a good morning they are really in it. Especially as we have to bat last.
Pietersen wicket is massive, it's never great having a nightwatchman hanging around and Colly is under pressure.
Thought Beer did ok to be honest.
Anyway lucky that Australia bowled a pile of utter **** with the new ball which basically wiped out that anoying 9th wicket stand. We are in a decent position obviously but still lots of work to do, would love it if Ian Bell made his first ashes century tomorow.

England want at least a 50 run lead here, 350 minimum you'd say. This is not a fun place to bat last, and even with our less than decorated spin attack...
