Here we are again in a very familiar position. Bowling in the 4th innings to win the game. Not our strong suite! Time for Lyon to shine!

@unhappy-tiger always does on day 5. It’s got to be mental. Turn and bounce. What more does he need??

The pitch slowed up pretty dramatically to be honest , the pitch has lost sting bounce wise , today has been more like a tradditional Day 4 Adelaide pitch in my opinion

Poms have to pick Crawley 

 

Hearing Hazelwood best case Sydney or even as late as Hobart until he is back , do we rest Starc for Melbourne ??

Richardson in for Hazelwood for Melbourne. Other than that go with our top attack imo.

Australia’s undefeated record in pink ball tests continues…

Great win with our 2 best bowlers out…

Hard to see the Poms come back into the series

Continue the pain

Australia were on top for basically every session yet the Poms got pretty close to holding off for a draw. I guess when you think we lost our two best bowlers before a ball had been bowled it was a pretty good effort.

 

Poms remind me of the Tigers, a couple of class players, a couple of old players who are on the slide and the balance are plodders. Still got me beat that half the UK population has roots from the sub continent and they can’t find a spinner. Anyway always good to beat the Poms at anything especially cricket

I agree with all the above comments. I love watching Aussies win but I must admit to being disappointed at the lack of fight in the Poms. Have been looking forward to the ashes Sydney test for 2 years now and in all likelihood it will be 3-0 and series done by then.

@tigersteve ..some talk today of giving Green a break and playing another spinner, the leggie from QLD. To me Green looked pretty good with the ball and could by handy at the MCG. Maybe three quicks and two spinners might be interesting
