I wish the UK press would stop the triumphalistic crowing when there's little reason for it.

I see "England on top" and "Broad puts England in charge" when the Aussies still have a couple of wickets in hand and 273 already on the board.

For all the writers know, England could be all out for less than 100.

Crow when the match is over, not on the first day?

Here we go, six wickets for Broad 282 for 9.

All that crowing about "England on top" looks really stupid now?

Someone needs to tell them it's a test match not 20/20.

Well, had I been captaining Australia I'd have sent the team out with instructions to knock off a quick 200 so there'd be at least 2½ days to remove England but it seems the England bowlers kept offering such tasty tempters that the batsmen could throw caution to the wind?

Yeh CD,Aussie batsmen knew they had a huge score and could swing the bat,and they did.

All that early crowing looks ridiculous now?

It dosen't seem to matter who we play,we always "gift" them the first test.

Words fail me.

Too much triumphalism and hooray-henry attitudes, too little dedication?

Johnson seemed to be too quick for them,CD.
