Well done Cook. Man of the match.
Australia were terrible on last day. We goto Adelaide now and I see a similar result looming if everyone bats sensibly.
If the
Ausssie selectors start changing the bowling squad too much they will be in trouble.
Its going to be tough for all bowlers in Adelaide and both teams will have to step up and take catches through the vacant second slip position...boy, oh boy...what a horror.
Clarke???? C'mon man.

Isn't it about time the balance was restored to test cricket?The game is biased towards the batsmen because of the pitches that are prepared and the technology - including the high tech.bats they use these days.Without help from the prevailing conditions there's no chance of any side taking 20 wickets in Adelaide.Big scores for few wickets is BORING!!.The name ...[text shortened]... re's enough of the "crash bang" stuff in the one day games for those who want to watch it.
Let's see a top order batsman scratch out a century as all around him struggle to get into the 30s - now that's what we want to see!
