Lets hope their tailenders fall pretty quickly and don't drag it out like England did.

Yas786 · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:42

LOL that Aussie batting card looks hilarious

...only Rogers and Warner did the damage, rest of them failed hard

matthewhotdude · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:43

It's worrying about Andersons form though

mmj_uk · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:44

They should just try to slog a few boundaries put the pressure back on us, not got much to lose now and the uber defensive strategy is clearly not working.

5 wickets in 22 runs.

147 Khawaja, 168 Warner, 174 Clarke, 175 Smith, 179 Watson

Wish Shane Warne was on commentary now he seemed so smug earlier

Pretty sure on SSN they were saying 5 wickets for 22 runs...nevermind the fact is that the Aussies are showing how bad they are when they chase a score down and i thought my beloved Paks were bad

Will be interesting to see if the Aussie tailenders can wag their tail a bit like they have been doing for the previous 3 tests and making the top/middle Aussie batting lineup look positively amateurish

Perhaps you need to get your ears cleaned

...unless Sky have a Warne imposter

Yas786 · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:59

And another one falls...199-8.

Harris LBW.

Game is well and truly over, might as well give them the last 2 wickets

Cosimo · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:59

Harris gone lbw, 199-8.

Jimbeam3678 · 12 Aug 2013 at 18:59

Another one gone Harris

physichull · 12 Aug 2013 at 19:00

Surely that is it now, in the bag.

robfosters · 12 Aug 2013 at 19:00

An English style collapse if ever there was one.

Hurts don't it Aussies?

I'm not listening to Sky.

matthewhotdude · 12 Aug 2013 at 19:02

What a brilliant collapse

mmj_uk · 12 Aug 2013 at 19:04

Aussies just need to slog now and hope for the best, no point trying to play the long game.
