Lazy half arsed performance; crap bowling, disappointing fielding.
North nearing his century..hes another impressive batsman who has been doing really well...only major failures was at Lords for him.
Him and Johnson making a big partnership here...by my god England are absolute rubbish and why is Anderson playing when its clear hes not fit ie hobbling around...for gods sake Strauss get him off the field so he can at least recuperate.

Good grief, declare now and this will be done in two and half days. Rubbish.
England have suffered without their best bowler and batsman. The team really is this bad without them.

Nope their worst performance was when they went to Aus after winning the Ashes then handing it over courtesy of a 5-0 whitewash...thats possibly the worst England performance i have seen in all my yrs being here.

I don't think they would've have made that much of a difference, not 300+ runs !
Watching this, albeit in glorious HD 
, reminds me of the episode of The Simpson's where Homer tells the story of his time in a Barbershop Quartet.
It's where they're on stage and Grandpa is in the audience and he says "thats my son up there" and someone replies "which one, the fat balding one?" and Grandpa replies "no, the Hindu"

You mean the bowler that's not really a wicket taker (although is, in fairness, a very important part of the team) and the batsman that hasn't made any runs all series?
Fact of the matter is that our entire team hasn't been good enough this match; we can't cite injuries to two players who, while both world class, hadn't had great series so far anyway.
Anyone that is watching this in HD, have you found that the picture is a bit jerky at times? Especially when the bowler is about to bowl, i'm unsure if it is my sky box or the transmission.
Doesn't matter much due to the depressing play by England.

Yep I've been getting the same thing.
I've got to say well played Broad, he's at least tried to bowl at a reasonable line and length and play to the conditions. I've knocked him a fair bit in recent times, but he's been the only bright point in the last couple of days.

Seems OK to me though I am watching this through half shut eyes with hands over them. It's scarier than I remember Dr Who being when I were a nipper.
Aussies out for 445 with Broad taking 6 wickets.
Losing KP wasnt a massive loss for England and even losing Flintoff shouldnt have affected England that much...Flintoff has hardly been fit for this series...sure he had a great game at Lords but before then and even after he wasnt contributing to much.
Hopefully England will now be bowled out for another 100 odd runs and the Aussies win by an innings
