All Blacks are 85 lengths superior to the Plodboks.

Not when it comes to the World Cup.

Johnson has a wicket. YES. It means he will play in Melbourne and get slaughtered.

Though this is shaping up like that South Africa match a few years ago. Day 3, 4 and 5 are probably going to be the better batting days on this pitch.

Johnson won't reproduce this in Melbourne. Nor will the Aussie bowlers.

I see one of two things happening.

Australia will take a lead but a lack of a spinner on the last day will ensure that either;

a) England bat for the draw
b) England win

Australia don't have the attack to take 10 second innings wickets. It's either a draw or England win from here. The pitch will get better for batting and will break up on day five, but no spinner will mean Australia will struggle.

There is very little between these sides in cricketing ability.

Australia just need to bowl 6 good deliveries in an over rather than 4 or 5, hold their catches and find some rhythm.

England will choke, but we have to actually put our foot on their throats first.

England are far superior than Australia.

England, South Africa, Sri Lanka and India are miles ahead of Australia.

What are you talking about Bolar. The result has already been determined by the TAB, our favourite Paki bookmaker and the coaches.

MJ will get another six wickets for the game, score a double century in the second innings and Australia will win on four overthrows on last ball of the game.

MJ best bowler since Bruce Reid

There will even be a fifth inning to make the above scenario possible

What are you talking about

Australia beat South Africa in South Africa last time we played them.

Australia had chances to win both Tests in India.

Australia are not the side they once were, this I agree with. In fact they are nowhere near it.

But to suggest that the sides you mention are MILES ahead is just silly.

The problem with Australia begins with CA and the selectors

All bets aside, at least it is refreshing to see a proper contest for a change in this series

Only way Siddle was getting a wicket was through a fluke
