Might see Monty get a game, although I doubt we would only go with two seamers

Bugger. Fell asleep for just over an hour and missed all the fun by the looks of it.

Need 1 more on that
Will they give us the extra half hour to try to finish this off?
If we take a wicket in the next 8 balls.
Four catchers on the drive for Anderson's final over to Johnson.

This is going to be a crushing defeat for Australia.

The quite brilliant thing is, Australia's bowling options are so shockingly poor, they won't even be able to drop players for the next Test in Sydney.
Having lost Rolf, they'll probably have to keep Mitchell Johnson in despite his overall uselessness (Perth aside) in the series. They may well recall Doug the Rug too as a replacement for Harris, and his role so far appears to have been to keep the Barmy Army amused with his comedy aggression, substantial man-breasts and erratic bowling. Sydney normally being a spinner's pitch means they may well retain the poor batting and poor bowling skills of Steve Smith, or have a go with the completely untried Beer, or perhaps bring back the non-spinning abilities of Nathan Hauritz. Or (please, please) even give Xavier Doherty another go, one of the worst Test players ever?
And will Phillip Hughes get another chance up top? Failing to pass twenty in four innings, and yet again having his technique exposed means he must be vulnerable, or at least he would be if Ponting and Clarke weren't so badly out of form too.
Oh, it's all such a treat
