Got up early to watch the cricket. Really wished I hadn't.
The Aussies were better in every department and Marsh was awesome.
Only the rain can save us from a humiliating defeat.......

Tomorrow's supposed to be the last day we might get rain.
England's been saved sessions byit being a day/night test. The forecast has had afternoons and evenings more affected by rain this week than in the mornings.

SMITH GONE !!! I didn't think it was possible!!
I think he averages in the 80s or 90s in tests after he makes 20.

The level of arrogance and hubris by our god damn team...
I don't know why you put the hard yards in and then NOT enforce the follow on in a day night test...
...and then when wickets start to fall you don't put a night watchman in until all your top order has already fallen.

Relax. You Aussies are giving us a sporting chance to drag out the test into the final couple of days. Even if we skittle you out for 150 total, that leaves a fourth innings chase of nearly 370, which just isn't going to happen.

Not enough to win it but still exciting. Why O why are we only playing like this now?!

Why the hell are you Pommy guys so pessimistic? You only need 200 runs with 7 wickets in hand IN ADELAIDE on a batters deck.
We ****** this one away. If you can't put up 200 over a full day under these conditions then I don't know why you'd bother coming here in the first place. You'd blood a new team.

This..............200 runs with 7 wickets, that's why we're pessimistic
We're fragile, and we're used to not chasing well, esp away from home...
@Hound - Whilst I agree that Adelaide is a batting wicket it will deteriorate on the final day and offer something to your bowlers - particularly Nathan Lyon. In the same way the outcome of the first test was determined by Smith's innings, the outcome of this one will depend upon Joe Root: if he stays in (and doesn't run out of partners) we have a chance. If he goes we're done.

6 wickets in the first session... don't know if it was as good a batting wicket as people said. Both second innings saw the ball swinging all over the shop and England really fell apart today

I hate it when being correct simply confirms the paucity of talent within the England team right now. We're too f*cking fragile.

I can't see any other result. Absolutely nothing to add.

Perth should be a draw from here on in. As such that makes 5-0 highly unlikely.
