Never say never. If England can collapse, so can Australia.
Four quick wickets and it's game on.
Even if Aus collapses for in 150 odd runs, lead will be a huge one.
I think it's customary Eng first test performance. They will do better from now on. They looked bit shell-shocked by Johnson's aggressive spell.
You never know with England. Cook could get in and drop anchor.
Wouldent be the first time Captain Cook dropped anchor in Australia.![]()
Wrong lefty...Odds of Warner smacking one straight to a fielder are high
His instinct is to plonk his front foot down the pitch and get caught plumb lbw.Watson needs to back his instincts. He's never going to score like this
God I hate Ian Healy. Go swim with the bull sharks in Brisbane river please

Needs to fight his instincts.
Watson is not a Test-class batsman. Never will be.
27 innings against England for a average of 44.6
what does that say about the England bowling attack.
That stats are skewed by one good innings of 176 and he has never actually played a match winning innings against England.
He has scored over 1100 runs against England so that sort of demolishes your feeble argument.

How many centuries has he scored against England? Or how many match winning/saving crucial innings he played? 50/60s don't trouble teams in tests. He was one of the main reason why Australia couldn't score big runs in 2010 Ashes. He threw away his wicket every time after a good start. He would score a 50 and get out. when you're batsmen are in you want them to score hundred and big hundreds not pretty 50s.
What was that match-winning innings that he has played then?
Against England? Or anyone?
He has still averaged 40+ against the English bowling and he is not a match winner, what does that say about the English bowling.
The more you run down Watson the worse your bowling looks, its you who is making Watson out to be a useless batsman but its your bowling attack that he has scored over 1100 runs against.

So you've failed to answer the direct enquiries of myself and Anfield. As we all know, there are no match-winning innings to speak of.
Not your best morning at the office Mr PR, should have ordered an extra shot of espresso in your Starbucks![]()
Thinking about it, that's one of the worst shots I've ever seen from a Test #3.
He isn't a Test #3 IMO. But we don't have a queue of batters sitting around in domestic to take his place.
Cook has brought England's demise in this innings with his poor field placements and tactics.
Nice review hahahah

What do you do with a deficit of 160? England's 1st batting innings collapse is what lost this match. Rain dance time![]()

Don't think they can win, but you never know. After the last Ashes Test here I've learned to wait till I see how the OZ are bowling in the 2nd innings before making any foolish predictions.
But if they were to win, it would take an outstanding batting effort and a poor bowling one from the OZ. The problem when MJ is your main wicket taking threat is that it's very difficult to make predictions as he is so inconsistent. He could very well bowl pies today. Draw is still possible if rain interferes.
more men near the bat. After watson's wicket he should have applied more pressure. England were not out of the game then yet as we all know Aussies batting is very vulnerable and can good like a pack of cards. He had all his men patrolling the boundary and have warned easy singles to bowl at Clarke as he was some tailender.
