Can't remember a more spineless batting performance from an Australian test team. Sure its a greentop but not a 7 for 30 one. Unfortunately these types of collapses have been all too familiar on spicy tracks in overseas tests. A limp effort.

How much did our great leader get mikeh?

Mr Extras is the top scorer with 14.

Would have to be the worst hour and a half of test cricket dished up by an Australian cricket side.

Broad 8 for 15 and not one of those balls would have hit the stumps, thats what happens when you prepare roads and play heaps of 20/20.

Poms have demonstrated in 3 overs of batting that it isnt a minefield. Hard to escape the conclusion that the team is split over the Haddin issue. They look a demoralised lot....
