Agree with those who say the Aussies look well under par. If even a few English batsmen bat properly I can't see any reason why England can't establish a healthy first innings lead. Fair play to Haddin and Johnson for digging out those scores. Pitch looks a road but must be difficult when you top and middle order have folded so pathetically.
England have a tendency for starting slowly in recent series' and the batting in the summer was poor, but we never got a pitch like this. Think the Aussies have to win too. They're up against it anyway, but failing to beat England at their fortress would be a crushing blow from which there may be no return.
I know it's one innings but Clarke looks shot when it comes to dealing with the short stuff. I hope that it's more to do with confidence after the summer than his back, but sadly I suspect not.
