It just makes it doubly annoying that they let Marsh get that hundred. I wasn't watching but I can only assume it was bad bowling because I refuse to believe Marsh did anything that wasn't toilet

England bowled way too short and didnt really attack our stumps. Anderson actually looked like he would rip through us in the first innings with the second new ball like he did in the second innings and he had both Paine and Marsh given out LBW but overturned on DRS. He still kept bowling back of a length and then the ball got old and Marsh cashed in.

Then they bowled hilariously too short at Cummins.

Should have brought him in for Hazlewood, his simple straight up and down stuff was never going to make waves at Adelaide Oval.

Hazlewood has been the most out of form. I know for whatever reason its great news that all three bowl above 135-140 on the regular but I think Hazlewood should focus less on speed and more on hitting the right areas.

Sometimes I can't tell if people are seriously woeful with regards to their teams, or faking it in hopes of being somehow fate forcing them to be wrong and their team wins to spite their moaning.

Despite each accusing the other doing it more, the truth is that both the English and the Australians simply enjoy a good old moan from time to time. It is the way of things.

I'm Australian. I hate England and want them to lose.

I legitimately think England are going to win and Australia have been on the backfoot ever since the Woakes/Overton partnership in the first innings.

Besides, I thought a Spoonboying had to be completely unintentional to work.

I want England to win so that the Melbourne test isn’t a dead rubber.

I don’t particularly care who wins the series overall because both teams and the countries they represent are deeply villainous

There is still no chance England are going to win, even if root got a ton there is nobody that can stay with him. A bad team like England isn't capable of a record run chase when Lyon is bowling so well.

I hope it comes down to an LBW which gets turned down. Australia can’t review then replays show it was out. Just so we can fill in the time before the next test arguing about DRS.

I should add I want to beat the poo poo out of most Australian players, commentators and selectors. The fact that Australia are poo poo seems to escape them and they all actually seem to believe all that "Three deadly fast bowlers will make the poms poo poo themselves and fall on the stumps!" bullshit.

Even a loss probably won't make them realize that the team is carried by Smiths batting and major changes to the entire setup are needed.

This has been obvious for years and nothing is done.

P.S. England are also poo poo and the way dickheads like George Dobell carry on about Stokes is terrible.
