We might do better this time...Fingers crossed.

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?

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.

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

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.
