Daft shot and yet another crap wicket..England may have won this series.. But my goodness the cricket as been so tiresome.

ZZZZZZZZ

Englandwhoelse represented the overall english fan's feeling in that comment.
I agree.

oooops..
Indeed.. I think we all knew England would bat like this.. Happy with a draw..

england going for the draw again.run rate 2.13

England batsmen making Lyon look un-mediocre.

Its all programmed under Cook.. we will wait and play sensible cricket and stay in the game. Like at Leeds against NZ.. Everyone new it was going to rain. Thankfully we got enough time on the final day to win the match. But under cook you cant take the weather into consideration.
Its all placed in order and that's it.. we are not going for a win. Its all about patience and waiting.

My word, we are so negative since Cook got his teeth into this captaincy lark.

Kharse. the aussies attack swan.. WE DO NOTHING against Lyon.

The feeling of English fans seem to be pretty similar to ones of wives who are very well provided by their husband but are unsatisfied at you know what i mean.
Come on Pietersen, wake up the sleeping fans.

If it wasn't for Bell in this series we would have lost the ashes.. The wickets are dire and its worked against England..
England are a negative bunch.. run by a negative captain.
Cooks batting as gone down hill because hes done himself in with his patience approach..
Hes batting so slowly hes attacking balls he usually leaves alone..

Thats what the fan feels.
England batsmen are allowing the opponent bowler to attain rythm.
Root played about 190 deliveries.At about "normal" SR for a test batsman 55, he would have got a ton, something to cheer about it would be.
But they are batting like Crai Braithwaite.

61 overs and 130 runs

Jonathan Trott has had 8 scoring shots in 48 balls since lunch #Ashes

Even India recently overtook Aussie 1st inning total of 400+ and then won by an inning.
England are capable of doing that and it makes thing more frustrating that they put a performace so sluggish.

as soon a team goes 400 + then england think, best we can get is a draw.

3-0 will do me

Come on England .. 3-0 up in the Series... Get at the Aussies.. #Ashes

I like that Aus haven't won a test match in a long time.

Let's keep that going

KP having some narrow escapes against Lyon here.

If England can get a lead of 100(they're more than capable), then time permittin, will win the match surely.
But with rain predicted for most of tomorrow and this over-cautious batting, the pressure will only mount on England.

by the time england scored 592 for the 100 lead it will be day 5 anyway

In 74th over, England's run rate went from 2.08 to 2.09. They are making progress. Patience folks patience.
