    I have a sneaky feeling here ... that England will still get a first innings lead.

    How do you think the English Rugby team will go in Japan - champions?

    Funnily enough .... yes.

    Australia 171-6 at the close of play. 283 ahead. Looks like by this time tomorrow the Australian players will be partying with the Urn.

    Two ordinary batting lineups against a couple of good attacks. With predictable results.

    Labuschagne standing up. Probably the most important player on the game so far in terms of scoring more than England in the first innings, and twice as many as the next best (Warner) in the match so far

    @sparky cheers fella, really good read. I agree too - Test batting is really being challenged by the focus on short form cricket

    @sparky brilliant article. Such really bad numbers accumulating there for England in test cricket, being dismissed for less than 100 three times in the last ten would be a big concern for the batting coach.

    Wow, that is really shocking.

    Root has carried them for a while and the cracks (that are most of the rest of the team) are showing.

    Any article where he manages to get out of it without calling someone a racist is a good effort for him.

    I was hoping that the bowling attack would explain the exclusion of Starc, and they very happily did.

    It feels very unusual/almost unclean being unequivocally in support of the canary yellow’s for one series, but that bowling performance definitely helps...

    Nah, don't agree with the gist of that article.
    England are just crap at batting at the moment. By moment, I mean the last 2 years.

    Other nations aren't collapsing for sub-hundred scores.

    If looking for great English spinners, Jim Laker comes to mind:

    193 wickets in 46 matches, average 21.24, economy 2.04. Has the record for the best bowling in a test of 19/90 (not a typo), and most wickets in a 5 match Ashes series of 46.

    He's been dead for 33 years, otherwise he might have been a good call for the squad for Tests 4 and 5.

    Labuschagne's batting looks so much like Jacques Kallis
