Smarsh is in terrific form so I think that's about right.

Clarke is pushing a long way in front of his body. Those side on shots sum it up. Not moving and very stiff so he's struggling to drive. Maybe he's not completely rooted and it's just form.

Can't wait until he somehow gets a go in the last test if it's decided and he scores a pointless century.

WTF...I just saw one of the worst ads in my life. And it featured Shane Warne sleeping with someone's wife.

Tied with "Demand a Commander" starring smug not-Kristin Wiig for ad of the series so far I reckon.

If it's the 5th test and decided, there's no way CA don't trot Haddin out one more time.

Rogers and Voges will both score tons we'll be right.

Failing that Johnson, Starc, Lyono and Haze are good for 200.

No poor batsmen in this side mates.

It's looks like we will be wanting 300-350. That's a loving big ask at this point but the pitch isn't that tricky. Good fair pitch but certainly not a <200 pitch.

Yeah it's an even morning. Australia winning the toss and making it to the rain break balances out England taking three huge wickets.

Are the bats even that big. I thought the problem was that they are both big and light. Big bats have always been a part of cricket but it was offset by weight.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
