No, but Broad and Anderson are better swing bowlers if they get their line and length right.

Going to be tough to enforce the follow on unless we add a few more with this last wicket

Shockingly poor display from England. Hope Aussies put on 600 now so they actually focus on playing diligently in the other 4 tests. Really hope they don't get away with this slipshod performance by the Aussies collapsing as well.
If I was Aus I wouldn't be trying to take the final wicket tonight. Could easily find themselves 3 down by the close.

England have been complacent. Aussie seam bowling strongest part of their team though.

Given the conditions and what the Aussies did, fully expect Australia to be something like 88-5 at close.

England gave away a lot of wickets in the top order. Appreciate England bowling attack is an upgrade, but if they bat sensibly no reason why they can't get off 60-1 or something?

Cowan won't be around the Test team set up for long with shot decisions like that.

I thought you told me that it was traditional for the second test of an Ashes series to be at Lords contrary to my long-held belief that it was always the first.
Michael Holding just referred to seventeen wickets falling on the first day of the first Ashes test of the 2005 series which was at Lords.
Have you been pulling my leg Tighty?

2005 first Test was at Lords I was there Tradition, going back half a century, for a five test series (against whichever country) is the second match is at Lords notable games include Massie's 8-34 in 72, Botham getting a duck in his last game as captain in 81. Second tests at Lords... Nowadays the ECB requires all Test eligible counties (bar Middlesex) to bid by tender for the right to host a Test. Hence Durham outbid a skint Yorkshire for an Ashes test this year for example...but the second test is reserved for Lords |
