With Harris very unlikely to bat (especially if Aussie are getting smashed), can England claim the extra half-hour?

Smith looks decent when he is playing in the V - like his straight drive was outstanding. But his front foot pull and front foot square cut and kind of horrible to watch. I am not enamored with his technique after watching this inning I will not cry in my beer if he gets dropped eventually.

This, really. Been outplayed.
Clarke is not giving me excuses here. Not happy. Not a fun knock to watch.

Far out, so far this series has to be one of the most pathetic performances by an Australia team in a long time. Let's have a look how the batting sides have performed so far:
-4 of the English top 6 batsmen have series averages well over their career averages (Cook, Pietersen, Bell and Trott), and 1 about equal to their career average (Strauss). So that's 5 of the top 6 who have performed well, with only Collingwood failing badly.
-1 of the Australian top 6 has a series average well over their career average (Hussey), with 1 about equal to their career average (Watson). So that's 2 of the top 6 who have performed well, with Ponting, Clarke, Hughes, Katich, North and Smith all failing badly with sub-25 averages.
****ing horrendous stuff from Australia. I don't care how good England have bowled, that is just pure horse****.

In an ideal world, and if reputations were put to one side, then Hughes, Ponting & Clarke would all be up for the chop. Ponting and Clarke have looked dreadful, and it's a real disappointment in many ways (though, I do like to see Clarke fail). You can't really drop Ponting & Clarke at the same time, but are there any Aussies who would advocate them being cast aside? Or at least one of them?

One of them surely has to go, Clarke needs a break or something doesn't seem to be in the right mindset atm.

Hey GIMH got one of his predictions right so why can't we get one?
Oh that's right, we're terrible.

Australia need a morale boosting test series against New Zealand, I reckon.
