JJ said:poor batting?
Both sides look pretty weak beyond #4 (except Gilchrist), and both lots played some ordinary shots to get out.
Actually - I qualify that, Aust look weak beyond # 4 with the exception of Gilchrist, England look weak beyond #3

They may be struggling at the moment, but when in the past 10 years have we not had one or two batsmen struggling and being carried by the rest? Martyn, Ponting, Langer, both Waughs, and others all went through slumps. That's why Australia has been so good, because they don't rely on one star batsman, unlike most other teams. Give it time, and they will come good.Big_Bad_Shark_Fan said:Thats a stupid comment in deed. Australia have a very good 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 and 10 (for their positions, like gillespie is a good for a number 10). If you ask me its our 2 (hayden) and our 5 (clarke) who are really struggling while ponting also needs to think about a new strategy about the way hes gonna play.
