    ***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

    I would guess it would be in the realms of a 6 or 7 to 1 shot. So there certainly have been much longer odds. None of the England batsmen have shown the ability to score more than 40s/50s so certainly something new needs to happen, either Root getting a big hundred or a 50 + 70/80 elsewhere...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

    Would love England to win just to laugh at Australia's decision not to enforce the follow-on, and their ****witted, arrogant declaration. But it's long odds.

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

    Yes Root's declaration at Headingley was utterly atrocious. Not only for the fact that match was always likely to be the only time West Indies were competitive, I could understand it more if West Indies had declared from Root's position. This declaration was abysmal. The new ball is a threat...

    ***Official*** 2nd Test at Adelaide

    The only way it's not a horrible declaration is if rain wipes out the best part of 2 days. So in summary it's a horrible declaration. No ifs or buts.

    Road to Russia 2018

    England always go on about bringing youngsters in, then gets to the World Cup and there'll be Joe Hart, Cahill, Henderson etc. stinking up the place. Although to be fair there'll be young players in the team by default.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Yep Root has a lot to answer for after lunch. England fought to get an edge, twice and have just tamely given it away. Fully expect to wake up later and see Australia still haven't been dismissed. One thing for someone like Smith to play really well to put a team on top, another when your own...

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    A repeat of yesterday, where England have just inexplicably served up an hour of piss weak cricket at a time when they're threatening to take control of the match.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Moeen been pretty rubbish barring the spin bunny wicket.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    I guess Australia aren't going to get 550-6 declared then.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    A complete bonus wicket. England were doing nothing, bowling to hopeful plans, neutering their own threat and getting milked for fun.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    And there we are, England well and truly pissed away a strong position after all the hard work yesterday.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Absolute wuckfitted cricket from England has turned 400 into sub 300. Absolutely pathetic.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    6 or 7 generally.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Do all the hard work then come up with this ********* cricket to undo it all.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Completely thrown away the initiative.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Pretty soft way to get out when you're on 50odd.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Yea right. We'll see if it gets easier to time tomorrow. But the ball did a little bit for everyone but slow. Rather more like an English pitch, and Australia don't get many 550s on those.

    Ashes predictions

    Australia to discover some more top blokes who were really the best in their discipline but just happened not have been selected and been **** for the last few years.

    How will England approach Lyon ?

    Pakistan are rubbish against quality spin, you can rely on any quality spinner shredding them on a regular basis.

    CA XI vs England

    In other news England's lower order/tail performing as I expected. It's one thing to be strong at home, but another to do it conditions you're less used to. There was all this talk last time about Swann/Broad etc. providing lots of lower order runs. Instead they were knocked over for fun...
