In reply to sam.

DC – I accept that the series will have turned if Australia win this Test. But they’re a long way away from that. Nothing’s changed just yet.

In reply to sam. I knew it was a bad idea to give OT a Test.

In reply to sam. I don't know Sam. A 2-1 scoreline reads much differently than 3-0 or 2-0 going into the fourth test. The dynamics changes. Australia would hit the ground running. They'd have the M-word.

In reply to sam. Clarke was due some runs. Let's hope he gets them all in this innings and has none left for the remaining seven Tests.

In reply to sam. Indeed, the Aussies are entitled to see the light at the end of the tunnel, as that is indeed light that they can see. Unfortunately for them, soon after that light bit is another long tunnel.

Some people on Twitter are saying the series has turned. The series has not turned. Australia had a good day. They’ve had them before. England are still the better side and will still win the series comfortably.

How’s that for optimism?
