Yeah basically what I want to know is if the tail hangs around and gets close to 350 - which these three are certainly capable of - whether that leaves us well-placed or not.

I wouldn't say well placed but well in the game. 350 would be below par (but I don't think par for either of these batting teams is 500 like it was in the old days at Brisbane) but it can also be something to bowl to.

I wouldn't say it would leave Australia well placed as such, but they won't be out of it. I think 350 is probably just par, and it's enough to bowl at. Always swings at Brisbane and I reckon Harris is going to bowl well here (no surprises).

Despite a brilliant performance from Broad, that was total garbage from Oz as this pitch was a lock for 500 +
With all the qualified ****sticks surrounding the team, surely someone has the brains to tell them not to play at balls 1-2 foot wide of off stump
This series is done unless Australia recovers tomorrow

England ahead but struggling to see us scoring 450 at the moment. That said don't trust this Aussie line up at all so a first dig lead of 80 odd would be fine with me. Thought Swan/Root getting through that many overs at a solid economy rate is a real positive to.

I can't help but feel this series will turn out to be another not-so-close series. Sure, the Aussies were in a far deeper hole at lunch, but they are still in a series deflating hole, imho. I really hope they climb out of it, but they probably won't.
It should be said that an average of 27, batting at 7, is probably not too far behind par. We've been spoiled by Gilchrist and even by Prior and Dhoni. Most test wicket keepers are not that good with the bat.
I like these kind of selective statistics. Just for fun.

He did at Cardiff 09 though.
TBF, he's a capable batsman. In a batting line-up based on merit and not supposition, he'd be batting at 4 in this team.
