Very interesting indeed. 4 wickets down; rain on the cards; can we hang on?

Australia are now 238 for 4 in their second innings and need to find 138 runs in order to require Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook to wear pads again in this game. It might rain. Hussey, Marcus North and Brad Haddin might yet put up a fight and close the game out, because runs buy time on the last day. Australia are down but not yet out and I wish some English commentators would wrap their heads around certain uncomfortable realities.
  • This pitch has not misbehaved and I don't think it is going to now.
  • Stuart Broad's fitness is in question after he left the field yesterday with what seemed to be a strained stomach muscle.
  • Finn, who was poor in Australia's first innings, has bowled rather well in their second and Anderson is plugging away, but our seam attack looks thin. It will probably not play a major part in the decision.
  • Graeme Swann has bowled well and been a little bit under-rewarded. I still wonder if Katich actually got a touch, but he was definitely beaten by a very good delivery; the Ponting dismissal was textbook, a really well demonstrated slip catch by Paul Collingwood as well. But Swann is being asked to shoulder a heavy burden and he has bowled 34 overs already. He must be weary.
  • Odd to say it, but I wonder if KP might turn out to be the decisive strike bowler. It's definitely a spinning wicket. KP usually sends down at least one "four ball" an over, often two or three, but on a surface which is taking spin he is not a joke bowler. Michael Clarke was playing very well and he was defeated by a fine delivery which bounced and turned more than he expected. KP can do that.

I fancy England to win but I can still see exactly how they might not; Australia won't just stay in bed. If England press this one home, they stand a damn good chance of doing no worse than square the series. But there are three games remaining and I will be a little bit surprised if Australia don't win one of those games, so England just can't afford to take their foot off Australia's throat right now. They have performed superbly and have to make that count.

Australia's bowling and fielding was simply not good enough. The pitch is unhelpful, it is true, but Anderson bowled expertly on it on Day One and showed that there is swing and seam movement there. None of the Australian bowlers could find anything, nor did it help that at least 3 clear cut chances went begging. Haddin missed a fairly straightforward catch, as did Mike Hussey of all people, normally merciless, a catcher even of tracer bullets in the gulley area. Peter Siddle couldn't quite get his hands on a very sharp caught and bowled chance when KP was on 85; that would have been a hell of a good take but on a better day I bet he would have grabbed it. You could see from his face how badly he wanted it and how frustrated he felt; he thinks he should have taken it, I am quite sure.

Unless either Hilfenhaus or Johnson play superbly in a Sheffield Shield game, I see no argument for dropping Harris or Bollinger when they only just got there, but Xavier Doherty did not bowl accurately, flight the ball or turn it so that I noticed and he looks out of his depth. He looks inexperienced for a 28 year old and seems ill equipped to carry Australia's spin attack all by himself; I hate to be a bore but I never understood why Nathan Hauritz was dropped, not at the Oval in England and not at the Gabba or here in Adelaide. There seems to be a prejudice against him, a persistent belief that he is over-rated and can't turn a key in a door. I watched him at Cardiff and at Edgbaston in 2009, and in both of those games he looked pretty good to me. I reckon the Australian selectors are playing silly-buggers if they carry on with Doherty when Hauritz is fit and available to bowl. I would be interested to hear the views of Aussie members on that one.

Postscript: Now I see Day Five has just commenced and Hussey has gone already, caught by Anderson off Finn. Australia will be lucky to reach tea now.

Nice write up Scoundrel, really hope they can take advantage of this, we've done it a couple of times before where we were in a commanding position and batted too long out in the middle, would be hacked off if we come away with a draw in this one.

Got sky in the living room so have to hop in and out

Both Broad & Katich are now out for the rest of the series.

These are huge blows for both teams. But katich's injury is the biggest problem for Aus.

I think that Australia will have to make more changes than they would like for the next test. Doherty will probably be replaced by Hauritz. But as to who will replace Katich is anyones guess. Clarke might be facing the chop as well.

Good bowling by Swann to take another five wicket haul.

Went in to watch the cricket for an hour with a couple of beers and bang, they were 8 down already.... and I was getting worried earlier

Well done England, great performances do far, really like Broad, sure the rest of the team will carry on the momentum without and take the ashes back to our shores.

All the years we have seen some dreadful matches, players, decisions finally we have a team that looks the dogs... wonder how they would of faired in the 2006/07 ashes out there?

An interesting speculation, but the Australian team of 2006-7 included Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Stuart Clark. No way would England have clocked two 500 plus tallies in consecutive test matches, even on the shirt front pitches we have seen so far, if this bowling attack was still in circulation. In fact, I doubt if anyone would be talking about how innocuous these pitches looked if Warne was bowling on them, and McGrath and Stuart Clark would have been a far tougher proposition at the Gabba than Ben Hilfenhaus and Mitchell Johnson were. Our team looks better than the 2006-7 squad did but some of this is an illusion, because the pressure is on Australia right now.
