Just a matter of the 700 odd wickets deficit to attend to now

Turned it over to watch the Nucks only to miss the wicket. Such a **** act.

Yeah I'm not watching channel 9, but did he mention Bell's 'take the game by the scruff of the neck' knock in the first innings? Or doesn't it count because he had a nightwatchman?
He will be out slogging. Lyon will get him at long on.

Do the commentators know something we don't about Pietersen's retirement plans? Weird that Hussey replied like that to a comment about his series stats.

There were questions about his place going into the first two or three tests. He'd been dropped for Agar a mere six months ago. Perhaps it's only that he's underrated by the Australian media and selectors. Give him one bad test and he'll have his place questioned again.
This is exactly what I mean. He's done better than anyone could hope and yet he still gets criticised for his performance. No test match wickets are truly gifts. Just because a bloke is trying to smack you out of the park and miscues it doesn't mean the wicket is a gift. The bowler has to be doing something right for that to happen. In addition, Lyon suffered incredibly by Wade's ineptitude for a long time. His stats would be a lot better had Haddin or Gilchrist been behind the stumps.

Won't come as a surprise to me. Has the look of a guy about to walk away from Tests and probably cash in on 20/20 cricket.

Just annoys me that when Root scored in 2nd innings Adelaide no one mentioned the fact they were calling for Bell at 3. Bell then hits a 4 and a 6 in one over and suddenly "this is what England were missing all series". Then when he gets out no one mentions it again.
I possibly would have batted Bell at 3 post-Trott. However at the time the theory of (a) keeping Bell where he's scored all his runs, and (b) not shifting Bell and then shifting Root so there are two players batting where they weren't previously, wasn't the worst theory in the world.
