Well we might reach 300 I guess if we get lucky. Root was unlucky but at least he is fighting.
No way back though once we are 2 down.
Well played Australia, totally outclassed us so far.

to win 3-2, no, no-one else has done it. no idea about coming back from 2-0 to draw the series and hence win it. cant think of a way to search that on statsguru

England lost the first two Tests against WIndies in 53/54 and then won the third and fifth to square the series

Naturally. Doesn't seem like there'll be enough rain to save England.
The one problem might be that there has been a few miracle comebacks in recent times, but they're already basically given up I feel.

It has, but if we're using that logic then Mitchell Johnson hasn't earned the right to say anything to the Poms, despite taking 17 wickets in the last 3 matches (unless, of course, we completely adapt it and say that seeing as though he took a lot of wickets against them once in Perth he has earned it). You can say anything you want whenever you want, but I don't think the argument that Prior having a decent career average earns him the right to have a go at a team that has him averaging about 14 against them this year is a solid one. Especially when that team apparently isn't that good.
Personally I don't have an issue with him having a chat, I don't think he started it. But his career average means **** all in the grand scheme of this series given how he's going at the moment.

Norwood's on Fire
Yeah look I slept through the last session, no idea what happened in terms of sledging. But there are plenty of posts of late that seem to imply Prior is just a crap cricketer. And that's all I was getting at. He's out of form, badly, but that doesn't overwrite three or four years of being the world's best at his role.

I think it was actually Broad that was doing most of the talking, and Prior just joined in at one point to back him up. The bloke can clearly bat (even though I've said otherwise in the past), I'm just glad he isn't doing very well against us this year.

Norwood's on Fire
Yeah fair enough. Was pleased to see he scored a few but from reading through here he struggled through. See how he goes tonight I guess. The key is to hang in there as long as we can with back to back tests.
