Reply With QuoteWe need to take out catches dropping Joe Root before he scored cost us at least half the runs the poms scored yesterday.
Catches win matches and we need to lift our game if we want to win.
After a great start with 3 for 43, Joe Root went on to make 134, and amply supported by 61 from Ballance and 52 from Stokes, England was 7/343 at Stumps on Day 1. It's going to be very tough from here for the Aussie to win the first test. The job may be easier if we can limit the Poms to under 400 in the first Innings.
Mitch Johnson needs to lift big time, the lost of Ryan Harris may be a lot deeper than we first thought.
Day 2 tonight, can't wait.
Last night the country may be divided, but now we should all united behind the Baggy Green and cheer for Clarkey and the boys.
Go Aussie !!
Without good customer services, there will be no business!!

We need to get those three wickets this morning and bat really well, like 500!
So far we have been out played in both bowling fielding and batting!
Whats up with the Aussies might be time to get some new blood in the team.
We can't even bowl line and length!
The poms are in front and deserve to be.
Steve Smith and Michael Clarke are supposed playing well against spins, both went out on Ali, and the manner they went out were both poor shots but brilliant catches !!
The commentators were right, we are missing Ryan Harris big time with his more consistent line and tight bowling, may be recall Siddle ? Johnson is clearly out of form at the moment ! May be he could bat well tonight !
Why do we keep playing Watson he is useless out again for 31 this time.
And lets not go for either of the two Marsh boys they are usless when the going gets tough they can both score a lot when there is no pressure on but when its time to stand up and be counted you wont find them anywhere to be seen.
We got to have some more good young bats in Australia.
Poor Brad Haddin they are expecting him to save us again.
The poms bowled beautifully this morning and so the Aussies are all out 122 behind.
Hadden got 22 but 18 or 20 of them were off the edge???
We will have to bowl a lot better in the poms second innings to get back in the game with a slim chance.
And even if we bowl well we still have to bat well in the second innings.
Looks like test lost to me need to make some changes for the second innings we need a bowler that can bowl line and length and then an all rounder to replace Watson.
The big disappointment was Clarke and Smith both getting out in the 30 s to spin.
Vogues is on thin ice needs to prove himself and Watson should be gone.
One other point I don't think the poms dropped a catch we dropped one at least that one cost us 134 plus what they scored at the other batsmen so close to 200 runs the lead is only 122 so there you go you cant afford to drop a batsman of any class.
Whats the Aussie bowling coach doing he should be getting on to the bowlers to bowl line and length and the captain should take them off if they don't.
Only problem is none of them are bowling line and length so I guess Clarke is a bit up the creak without a paddle.
Sadly the Aussies are as weak as piss at the moment. They are being done over by a smug English team who are not actually that good. Time for Watson to be sacked. Done nothing for so long yet they persist.
Any reason why James Faulkner or Maxwell are not called into the squad ??
Both are good all rounders and has that X factor !
411 needed to win 10 wickets in hand there was a time we would have been a chance but not this team.
Agree. They certainly have the talent but they don't handle pressure. They are front runners only and don't seem to be a team of fighters. Clearly I would love to be proven wrong tonight

X factor don't mean $$!@ in a 5 day game!
Read more! post less!
411 is certainly not Unachievable !!
We need more than the 95 from Rogers in the first inning ! All those batsmen who went out after making 30's, we need at least two of them to go on and make a big 100!
Test one is so important, lost this one, it will be a long way back, Warner, Smith, Clarky all need to dig in and bat for two to three sessions at least!
Btw I heard something that it's a four day test ?? Is it not 5 days ? Because if it is 5 days, we have plenty of time !! Even if it is 4 days, if we lost early wickets and do not look like winning, we should bat for time and force a draw ! Just don't lose it !
Go Aussie !
We were 1 for 97, last over before lunch , looking good and Warner and Smith looked set, Warner just made his 15th Test 50's
In comes Ali and Warner out !
Then after lunch Smith, Clarke and Voges all went cheaply and quickly !
Bloody hell! Another collapse ! Losing 4 for 9 runs !
We are now 5 for 115 !!
Watson and Haddin at the middle , can they put on a 250 partnership and win the first test for us !
If Watson can get us home here, he will silent ALL critics and proved that he deserved to be in the side !
C'Mon Aussie !
Ps, any rain forecast on the way? We need a big Welsh rain storm !
And fast !
We are playing like such a bunch of faggots. Heroes in Australia and zeroes away from home. England were shown to be pretty ordinary recently by NZ and they are giving these overrated dickheads a cricket lesson. They better pull their finger out or they will face humiliation yet again.
The only rain storm came from the English bowlers they pissed all over us!
First we get thrashed in the State of Origin and now in the Cricket!
Not a good time to buy a lottery ticket? May be couldn't do any worse?
Hey bro A
I have been busy the last few days
I am a patriotic guy
But...
If I had known Australia were batting last, and were chasing a big total, its usually best to bet against Australia
Particularly if away from home
For the last 20 years, the Australian batting order in Test Matches has usually lacked the ticker to show consistency
Note how many times it is the tailenders having to chase the totals
Again, Im not a betting man, but I would never bet to see Australia win in the fourth innings, if its a substantial target
Its during these times, when batsmen show their true worth
Unfortunately, it is usually the Australian bowlers that show up the Australian batters (see my post below)
There are some similarities between the NSW Origin team 2015 (crumblers) and the Australian batting order. But NSW Origin lost by a record margin, so they win the prize for top crumblers
Nevertheless, go the Green And Gold Ashes Team !!!
After all, Michael Clarke has never been in a winning Ashes team in England !
The champion has a big challenge in front of him this year !
Lets go !
This is usually what we see
An Australian bowler, showing the Australian batsmen how to score runs
Anyone else remember this Australian teenager, setting the example, in 2013 ?
He scored 98 runs. What did the senior batsmen score ?
Look at the scoreboard below ...
Ashton Agar the Ashes hero: debutant saves Australia with record Test innings
12 July 2013
Ashton Agar, 19, scores 98 from 101 balls on day two of the first Test.NOTTINGHAM: Not even falling two runs short of a century on debut could dim the smile on Ashton Agar's face, and England spent the evening session at Trent Bridge trying to recover from seeing the teenaged No.11 whisk away control of the first Test.Agar will forever be part of Ashes folklore for his knock of 98 from 101 balls, which surpassed the previous world record for a last man in, set by West Indies fast bowler Tino Best against England last year.
It was a game-changing stand and possibly a life-changing one for Agar, who twice hit Graeme Swann down the ground for six and pulled anything short from the quicks with confidence.
Hughes played a tough, skilful innings of 81 not out, by far his best innings in six difficult matches against England.
When the pair came together the score was 9-117 and Australia's first innings was in ruins. James Anderson was swinging the ball both ways at one end and Graeme Swann was spinning it at the other.
