What a game. A good DRS decision to end the game. England just won it. Just

Shame KOF isn't here.

[Ollie 4,400]

Surely a perma ban isn't fair. Hopefully he can come back in time for Thursday. The Aussies had their chance and they blew it. 1 down, 4 to go.

He's probably in hospital right now recovering from a stroke the way his hatred for England makes him so angry.

[Strike 7,478]

to be fair, Australia did well to even come close.

[NishC300 1,865]

Sorry guys but I thought England got lucky in this test. Stuart Broad's runs, some lucky edges and that Phil Hughes decision, but still credit to England for playing till the end. (btw if anyone was gonna get a wicket for England it had to be Anderson)

Seems a bit weird here since there are no Aussies.

Who we gonna laugh at if KOF isn't here for the whitewash?

kinda boring without him.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

There won't be a whitewash. 3-1 at the very worst for the Aussies.

In other news: a Cornish cricketer today hit 311 runs off 288 balls. 53 fours and 11 sixes.

[Ollie 4,400]

5-0 is possible in my eyes. Especially after the Aussies bottled the first test when it was in the bag.

[Strike 7,478]

Cowan and Starc out, Khawaja and Harris in.

[NishC300 1,865]

Cowan and Starc out, Khawaja and Harris in.

I still don't get why Starc played in the 1st test.

Harris, Faulkner and Johnson are easily better than him and they couldn't have exploited the swinging conditions in Trent Bridge too. Dunno anything Jackson Bird

[NishC300 1,865]

I 100% agree with Warne's lineup! I would prefer if Faulkner played along with Harris instead of Khawaja. Faulkner can bat too. Also most of England's right handed top order batsman have been dismissed against Left-Handed seamers. So another case for Faulkner.
