Mother of god. Australia's lowest test score ever is 36. They might not make it.

Ricky Ponting not showing much passion in the comm box, what's the point of having him there. Get Warne on!

Probably because he's seething inside at what's happened to the Australian team. Must be painful for the greats like Ponting, McGrath and Warne to see this happening. Haven't heard from McGrath yet during this series. Must remember to check out TMS when he's on and see how depressed he sounds. :D

Normally I hate the calls for heads to roll, but Clarke hasn't shown anything at all. It's clearly too hard to get back in form and captain the team. There's no grit. It's sad to see actually.

With his age, form and injury problems I think this is Clarke's last series in charge of Australia. I think the Australians will let him resign rather than be sacked. However if this game carries on as it has done so far might he quit immediately after this Test and let Smith take over for the 5th Test?

Doesn't Clarke have the unenviable record, for an Australian cricketer at least, of having lost the most Ashes Test of any Australian Test captain?
 
Wtf England, haven't taken any wickets for the past 2 overs. Boring.

Edit: Ah there we go, normal service has been resumed.

I think you might be right about that. While he has been a good captain, he needs to focus on his batting. God knows what he would even say in the dressing room at lunch/end of innings whichever comes first. I read somewhere that Clarke said he won't resign no matter what the outcome of the Ashes, but if it carries on in this manner, I don't think he'll have much choice...
 
Broad already nailed on for man of the match, he can probably get a deck chair out for the rest of the match and still win it.
