This is a good setup for Stokes to make a double century on debut.

Rub of the green in this test. First ball Clarke nearly spoons it to a fielder, goes on to make 140. Carberry pulls a ball at 100mph and Warner gets it to stick in his hand.

England are lacking so much aggression it's making me angry. Please start a fight with some dumb Aussie and get everyone fired up, Stewie.

Stokes is streaky as gently caress from what I've seen so it should be entertaining now anyway

Isn't that what training is all about, though? Drill and drill and drill so that it's reflexive.

Well played WI - looks like the rain has well set in.

Pathetic work by MccCullum. He's gotta go. He's so loving dumb, and this innings just cements the contempt in which I hold him.

Would they enforce the follow on? England bowling last with two spinners could be dangerous but there's still a huge amount of runs to get.

You're assuming that England can get 400+ runs if they were asked to follow on; which they can't

I reckon they should send them back in. At this rate they'll still be 400+ up by the end of this innings.

Given Perth is only next week, it would be better to give the bowlers a rest, go slog 150 then go after them with fresher bolwers.

gently caress, what an over that was from Johnson.

Me @ your poasting

Such a disappointing effort by England. I do hope the ICC brings in some sanctions against the ECB over sending such a dreadful team to Australia. This must be so disappointing to the Australian cricket fan who has been going to these games expecting a display of textbook cricket.

They should consider flying Bopara over, he can't do any worse than this.
