I always try and look for a positive in the midst of a crisis, and here I see two. 1. At least he didn’t buy his tickets for just days three and four. 2. He will get some extra sightseeing time in Perth.

He needs to look on the bright side he could have bought a Swansea City season ticket.

Very true!

This gap between the first and second matches just feels huge. These three extra days have severely dampened my enthusiasm.

It should have been three fewer days but for England's incompetence.

Whereas the first Test was a stay up and power on through, this is very much a go to bed early and get up early job.

Here we go. England will do extremely well to get something here, they haven’t won here since 1986 and Oz don’t lose in pink ball cricket.

Zak Crawley survived the first over, England couldn’t.

 

[Cooperman]

Gulp.

 

[Trampie]

I think 196-4 at tea is a pretty good recovery from 5-2 after three overs. Terrible over rate though.

So they can relax as there are no expectations. A free bite for the dog.

Zero expectation at 4:15am this morning. A little bit of fight shown since.
