@nta Never in doubt. A thumping victory that makes me think of Steve Waugh, Johnny Howard's trcksuit, Thorpedo and big Johnny Eales in his prime.
What a disaster for England. Leach hit out of the series. Stokes hurt. Robinson hurt. Couldn't happen to a better group of blokes. Why fly to Adelaide when you could just take a right turn and go all the way home, save everyone the trouble of watching you limp to sad defeat after sad defeat.
The only reason to go on is to give Jimmy Anderson a fitting send-off from test cricket - limping off with a hamstring injury as Australia pass 500 for the second time in Adelaide.
This post is aging well ...
They’ll still get pumped. Guaranteed.
Yep. Spoke too soon.
Root now for 89.
Yeah - I was thinking this morning it was pretty unlikely that both overnight batsmen would manage to successfully restart and make 100. And always the possibility that if Oz got one, they'd get two.
They got three.
England really need two guys to get hundreds from here - most likely these two. Probably need to still be batting at lunch tomorrow - unless forecast showers severely disrupt tomorrow afternoon's play..

Sorry about that, Ben!

Difference between these two teams is attitudinal. Australia are ruthless, England are lacklustre at the moment.

Apart from talent, you mean?
Of the two teams that played here, I'd only take Root, Stokes and Buttler in a joint team.

Why didn't Warner bat? Is he injured or protecting his average?
Injured.
Got whacked in the ribs. Was off the field too long to bat.
Aus trying to pretend ... err say they're not broken.
Conjecture whether he's up to the next test.

OK good, thanks. I wasn't watching, glad it wasn't a cop out. And to be fair to him, despite all his faults, he doesn't seem the kind to shirk the duty
