Throwing our good start away ... Need to stay in the centre for a bit.

Surely that's the last time we'll have to watch Cowan in Australian colours. He's a good ordinary state player and nothing more.

Hopefully. His footwork is either Max Walker or concrete.

We need a big innings from Clarke and someone to support it.

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

We will need a small miracle from here to win. Perhaps Starc might throw the bat around and get some quickfire runs. All but one of our top order batsman got starts but none of them went on with it.

Just need Agar to back up his first innings

Just need Agar to back up his first innings

and Haddin to justify his spot

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

We simply just need to play our shots.

Yes England bowled really well during that last session, but not one of our blokes had a positive mind set and took the bowling on.

We allowed England to crowd the bat and went in survival mode for the whole session.

Agar showed in the first innings, if you hit a couple of boundaries and show intent to score, all of a sudden the field spreads and makes takes the pressure off.

Hard to get in on that wicket.
England bowled well in that last session, and I think the Aussies were generally unlucky with a few decisions.
As for Broad, like father like son

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

The whole concept of Players adjudicating decisions is totally farcical.
Shows how difficult it is to umpire.
Should be brought in for the howler only ( ala Broad)

It is there for only that. Australia decided to use it as a tactic and lost that right.

Dar is just a terrible umpire, I dont believe he does anything against Australia specifically.

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

I am so nervous watching this. Runs hard to come by, Agar very nervous himself, but hanging in there.

104 to win

AGAR out

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

I think we will be chasing at least 350

We trail by 103 runs so its doable.

Very hard to say that now

It will be over soon but let's try and stay in there as long as we can.

Re: 1st Test- England V Australia, Trent Bridge.

Cook takes a stunner after dropping a far easier chance. How good is Anderson? Belting in and bending the back for 12 straight overs on a docile dud of a pitch for the quicks.
