    Am in total disbelief... all out for 60!?! *??? :31:

    Been shaking my head, and literally throwing my hands up in disgrace, listening to TMS. Heads will roll. Clarke will be fortunate to still be in the team by the time the Aussies get back home, let alone still captain, but wow! How many times this series has the Aussie batting completely failed.

    Xavier Tras top scored with 14! FFS! :31: :31: :31:

    Broad was great today, not sensational but just great........put the ball in the right place time after time.

    Surreal sort of day.

    Would have to agree with this.

    Broad's figures were the product of putting the ball in the right areas, however it wouldn't have happened without some absolutely sensational catches being held.

    But probably even moreso, an absolutely abysmal batting display on a pitch that was doing a little bit, but certainly wasn't a minefield. One on which just a bit of discipline would have served the Australians far better than the reckless approach they chose, which led to a lemmings parade.

    England did well but the Aussies are a team divided, basically over the decision not to reinstate Haddin, and with no leader.

    Clarke is totally self-absorbed, before the match he just talked about his game and how hard hes been working. He couldn't lead a sing-song in the pub. Hopeless. I hope he joins Warnie and stays in the UK

    Hope Cook gets a ton - he deserves it.

    T20 World Cup starts on Tuesday. Think Ireland are * in their group, Bangladesh should blow them away I think. Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Sabbir Rahman and Al-Amin Hossain all good players and they just got to the final of the Asia Cup beating Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    Ireland probably don't have the spinners for success on the subcontinent. But maybe George Dockrell could shine.

    If Scotland can win a game that is success :56:

    Made a meal of it at the very end. Run? Don't run? :56:

    But a quality batting performance.
