Hypothetical odds of 10-1 that Australia will win the toss.

They're due a good call.

Hypothetical odds of 10,000,000 to 1 ON that they'll elect to bowl if they do...

Australia lost the toss again - 3/3.

England elect to bat. To no one's surprise.

Cook, looking at you, now.

Five days, five days...

Cook has had four innings in two Tests thus far, scoring -
  • 2
  • 7
  • 37
  • 16
- a grand total of 62 runs.
And so we have to add -
  • 7
  • 14
- for a grand total of 83 runs

From SIX inningses.

&I also said:
His Test average is nearly 46.
His Tour average is now a touch over 13.

This is England's opening batsman.

This is not going well.

Like, at all.

Actually, there is, somewhere, a rather amusing video of Piers Moron facing an over from Brett Lee.

It serves as a warning to us all.

Best player, from an English perspective so far is most definitely T.Rain.

In Perth.

At the WACA.

A draw is a win for 'us', let's not forget.

Two won, one drawn, two to go...

Let the rain fall and fall and fall.

4th Test - finally Australia win the toss - elect to...

Bat.

50 partnership from the openers already.

Watching from behind the proverbial sofa...

There comes a time, and i think realistically that it is a time we have reached now, when you just have to make what you can of the situation.
