Carberry didn't pick that up at all.

Should have been an easy catch.

[RichC]

Yup, it's not going well for us again. We're just nowhere near clinical enough when we get into the middle order & tail.

[Shaggy]

Annoying. They'll get 400+ and we'll be done for under 250.

[Alex]

I know its obvious. But we need to dry up these runs before the new ball. Getting hit for 6 wont help matters.

[Chazza]

Bore them into submission

[Chazza]

Haddin gone.

Dangerously close to a no ball again from Stokes.

[Alex]

Some say close to a no ball. I say its a perfect ball. Right on the limit. Seeya later Haddin

[Chazza]

Why the need to get so close to the line though?

Asking for trouble peppering it every time.

Not into this cricket ****e. But it is the same with football and placing the ball for a corner kick. Players place it as far as possible "outside" the line

[Alex]

I guess if you get a foot closer to someone, the ball can still maintain its top speed as long as possible. I think it also intimidates the batsman a little. Makes things seem closer than they are.

Game's gone. Congratulations Australia on your 5-0 win.

[Vermilion]

Had hoped we'd win this one, which would have totally imo smashed the Aussie confidence and had their arses twitching! (although Clarke's already looks like it is in that picture )

But it seems i have to move on to my next prediction.

This'll be a draw, then ENGLAND win the last two making it one of the all time great Ashes series!

[Buzzo]

No wickets for Anderson or Bresnan.

You can only hope that the Aussies get complacent, it wasn't too long ago that they were struggling.

But it looks pretty grim for England.

The sad thing is that given the flatness of the wickets, they'd be as well just having the coin toss, then packing up and going home. You could get the Ashes sorted out in under 5 minutes.
