Phil - cheeky, but can you pin?? I know a fair few of us are interested in chatting about this as well as ITFC.
To kick start - series predictions?
I am going Australia 2-3 England.

I know it's not their fault for the situation but that was poor from Broad and Anderson with a guy on 40 odd the other end. |
It's OK - we'll skittle them for 80 under the lights and knock off the runs tomorrow. It'll be good to have a day off! |  | | |

Losing by 10 wickets is pretty much the same as losing by an innings though |
Root has called correctly at the toss both times so cannot have any complaints there. |  |

Do you think we should have batted first here? It's probably a harder call for the day/night test.
I actually think Australia should have enforced the follow on, even though it rarely happens now. | | | |

I honestly don't think it matters that much with the gulf between the two sides in these conditions. |  |

Given that it's the same conditions for both sides for 5 days, I don't think it mattered. I think most tests I like the idea of bowling last.
My point was more that root has had the opportunity to do what he likes both times so can't bemoan that. | |

This is how we were supposed to bowl on day one. Bit late now. |  |

I'm sure sides batting first must win more tests than not.
I can understand sometimes bowling first under grey skies in Nottingham or Leeds but, more often than not, it's better to get runs on the board.
I think Root's decision was influenced by previous results in the day/nighters. | | | |

Jimmy gets Khawaja, looks like he's bowled a magnificent spell, all in vain unfortunately. | |

Now Warner's gone. I said 80 all out!
Jimmy has bowled beautifully. If we had some genuine pace and a decent spinner, we'd be in this series. Oh, and a decent all-rounder... | | | |

The DRS has been a big difference in this game.
That looked out all day long. | | | |

He doesn't give many chances so you might be right.
We've got no chance really but that might have been the end of any slim one! If they'd been 50-5 with Smith and Warner out, we'd have had a sniff... | | | |

Bloody hell, if only we had been better in the first innings.
50/4 is great, 265/4 rather less so. |  |

Absolutely!
We need this spell to have seen them 6 or 7 down - they can easily add 150 tomorrow and have 5 sessions to get us out.
It's livened up though! | | | |

Make the first 2 & half days even more frustrating. | |
