Good morning England........Series is now 1-1

You will wake up to see Australia demolished your last 5 wickets within about the first hr of play.

England, hang your heads. Pathetic, insipid and scared performance. Can't believe this is the same confident side we saw in Adelaide.

Congratulations Australia. Suberb bowling. They stuck at it with great line and length for both innings. Harris, Hillfeneus, Johnson and Siddle were terrific and should again prove to be difficult to stop. Harris has not hit top gear as yet......

The main differences in the bowling departments were that Australia are quicker and bowled fuller than England. This was very key in the outcomes.

It is about bloody time we bowled to Trott wide of off stump also. He is particularly vunerable (it doesnt help that we have dropped him 4 times also). I don't think Strauss is any more comfortable than Ponting either, so a big score is around the corner for him also. He has feathered two down leg side so far and played a ball he should not of played. Collingwood looks awefully out of form also.

Michael Hussey has been an absolute champion as has Shane Watson during the series so far.

Englands lower order looks extremely fragile and something they need to think about a little more. No runs from Prior, Swan, Anderson & co and some cause for some concern.

Ian Bell had something to prove today. It was his 'day in the sun' today, however he got ' severe sunburnt' when put under pressure. Mr Bell you still have a bit to prove son.........

Again congratulations Australia. Let's keep the momentum going for Melbourne.........
