The WACA is next.

I'm SO excited for the WACA.

Prediction: Johnson to take 20 wickets as England make a total of 40 over two innings .

Only 20 wickets? You surprise me, Compo!

Johnson to take 76 wickets and score 800 runs! .

Nasser Hussain is a cracking pundit. He's got an excellent cricketing brain.

He sure nose his stuff

[novosleftboot 6,285]

It's clearly pissing it down there! Just shake now, captains!

[Creampuff 22,628]

They mentioned that test that South Africa rescued a draw from a year ago.

Interesting to think that James Pattinson's injury in the first innings led to Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus having to bowl themselves into the ground. Australia had no choice but to drop all three to let them heal up.

Who gets called up? A bowler who found himself back in from international exile.. Mitchell Johnson .

Awful.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Carberry and Bell deserve a lot of credit. They've been just about the only positives in this tour for England so far.

2AM start for next test fuck off not staying up that long.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Broad gone already.

Fool.

[novosleftboot 6,285]

Another wicket lost taking on the short ball?! Fuck off!

[KingKirk 25,577]

Start the 3rd test now could do with a laugh..

[KingKirk 25,577]

Another wicket lost taking on the short ball?! Fuck off!

was that your opinion when he put the last ball away for 6?

[Creampuff 22,628]

Broad hits Siddle over Nathan Lyon at cover for 6, then scoops the ball straight to the same man next ball.

That's VERY stupid.

[KingKirk 25,577]

Hat trick coming up

[KingKirk 25,577]

This is playing into Australia hands..

[Creampuff 22,628]

Broad misjudged the bounce. That one was much higher than the one he slogged.

So what he fucked it that's all a care about

[Creampuff 22,628]

Johnson looking a little off this morning.

[KingKirk 25,577]

Would be hard to get up for 4wickets.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Matt Prior makes his 50.

Good innings.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Australia have been fucking fantastic in the field this series.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Johnson looking to bowl across Prior, restricting his runs leg side.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Finn is an excellent bowler for bounce.

I'd play an off-colour Finn ahead of an in-touch Tremlett.
