I can't say I was expecting England to be 2:1 up in this series. Australia's much-lauded batsmen look seriously vulnerable to swinging and seaming balls.
Having said that, I really can't see England winning any more in this series without Anderson.

i think it depends on which australia turns up for the 4th test. morale must be pretty low right now and the pressure is all on them."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Oh God. They've called up Liam Plunkett regardless of the fact that he's been struggling with injuries and sporting a bowling average of 37 at County level this season.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

Once someone gets to 3, why bother watching the remaining games? Do ratings drop off?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Speaking of stats, Australia's innings was the shortest opening innings in Test history- the only time a team has opened the batting and been fielding before lunch. Broad's bowling was the joint-fastest "five for" in Ashes history and the third-best bowling performance in Ashes history (only passed by the two innings in Jim Laker's 1953 miracle).

England finish the day 214 runs ahead with six wickets in hand. So either England win the Ashes, or we get to see the greatest fightback in Test history.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil Finland

australia started their second innings really well and i thought we might see a real fightback, but now it looks like it's all over bar the shouting."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
