The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I'm a Kiwi. 6 wickets to win on the final day vs. England. Gonna be great watching.
I've not seen much of this as it is so over night. If you believe the papers here the score is mostly due to England's ineptitude, how accurate is that.

Are you in the UK? Why would anyone believe the papers, ever?

Yeah, it looks like we're gonna be in a bit of trouble for this upcoming ashes series.
Or maybe not so much trouble.
I wouldn't be suprised if we cant even defend the ashes at home at the end.of the year, let alone in England. No matter how bad you say England are right now, Australia are at a bit of an all time low.

ACB should give up on all rounders and play specialists. Maxwell in the test team is a joke. Maxwell in the O/D team is a stretch.
Whatever the team lineup is they should sit them down and say they have their places in stone (barring injury) for the next series so there's no worry about being dropped. They are a young side and they need confidence and time. They also need support from the ACB and coaching staff that they're not expendable. The way that Khawaja has been treated is atrocious.
My XI - Warner, Cowan, Hughes, Clarke, Khawaja, Smith, Haddin, Siddle, Pattinson, Starc, Lyon. Rest of squad - Bird, Johnson, Hilfenhaus, Henriques, Marsh, Wade, Quiney.

I much prefer Haddin to Wade too. Wade is such a bad keeper. But Haddin is getting a bit old now so there's gonna have to be a replacement there in the not too distant future anyway. We need to find someone who is actually good at wicket keeping. I seriously thought Hughes looked more comfortable behind the wickets the couple of times he has popped the gloves on than Wade.
Yeah I wouldn't pick Maxwell for the ODI either, he's just a 20/20 baseball hitter at best.

I'm obviously quite happy with our bowling performance but we came damn near to choking even harder than Sri Lanka at the crease. There's a certain lack of urgency which we refuse to shake.

Not enough talent in the Australian squad plus too many egos. Clarke is the only player who would get into the England XI. Australia may win the odd session but I don't feel we have the necessary players and temperament to compete in English conditions against a strong team.
