Nice to see a bit of a fight back tonight but probably too little too late. One small but significant point..... What do we do when Jimmy Anderson hangs up his boots?

With England's batting, the 2 evening sessions, the lead is probably enough right now to be honest, good to see the Aussies not having it all their own way though. Disappointing thing is they're clearly not as good to justify the hammering they're giving us at present.

Average 4th innings score at Adelaide is 213.............................Aussies could declare now and win easily

Sadly for Sussex there is a bloke called Jofra Archer waiting in the wings...

He is going to have to be a very special talent to match Jimmy's ability and luck with injuries. But, hey ho, records are made to be broken.

Agree he doesn't have Andersons skill set at present but he does have pace and the word is he can get quicker. It would be nice to have a 90MPH plus England bowler (who occasionally played for Sussex). In regard to injuries I seem to recall Anderson had a lot early in his career, he must have done something to sort it out?

I blame BT Sport as soon as they start showing Ashes cricket we are rubbish. For the good of the game they should give up their rights now.

Having just got BT Sport I disagree

Looks like the game was up as soon as we chose to bowl first.

I think Anderson struggled a bit with intercostal strains but the key to his longevity I think is the reduced workload he has had and thorough preparation before bowling.
Luckily he has a good action and has not suffered with the major injuries that bowlers can have.

Partly that, then partly bowling and batting badly and having an attack that lacks any pace.

Ask him to reconsider?

I said about our poor bowling in the first test in fact I said virtually the same as Michael Vaughan and got slated for knowing nothing. But then I am not an ex England captain.

Nice to show we have a bit of spirit, but too late and we will go 2 - 0 down.
