****ing LOL one of the Aussie front pages this morning labels Broad a "smug Pommy cheat"

[RichC]

I love it when the Aussies are like this on the back foot and feel like they have to go on the attack!

I'd love it if we manage another series win without a test defeat against them

@NHoultCricket
Possibly the greatest insult in the Courier Mail's front page "smug pommy cheat" story is describing Broad as a medium pacer

Outstanding

I hope he takes a 5 for!

Didn't Cook score some big big hundreds last time... And Trott and KP scored a double too? I don't see where this Aussie bravado is coming from (other than in being Aussie), they have no form whatsoever right now. All I see this doing is motivating England who are on their day a far superior team.

First test will be interesting. Dunno what the wicket is but you'd be tempted to stick the Aussies in and rattle them with some early wickets.

Sounds like it's a batter's paradise but it should do a bit early on. Hope we bat.

Good toss to lose. Tough first morning with the bat and wickets could easily tumble.

[Cormack74]

You want England to lose? Shameful!

10 hours to the toss. Suppose I should get some sleep.

Oops sorry mate, thought you were an antipodean.

Prior fit

Tremlett marking his run up.

[RichC]

Looks that way doesn't it. Happy enough with the 11 they think will start

[Vermilion]

come on you whites!!

Aussie media are hurting, going in low right from the off.

[Chazza]

Bowling first up.

No Steve Harmison we hope.

As they don't have their own head of state can we just have one anthem and get on with the cricket?
