Australia all-rounder Shane Watson faces a battle to be fit for the first Ashes Test in Brisbane on 21 November.
The 32-year-old sustained a hamstring injury while bowling in Australia's final one-day international against India last Saturday.

Please tell me not hooking or pulling |
Yeah Pieterson yet again trying to hit one over the top whilst Cook played at one he could have left well alone under the circumstances. |  | | |

Cook was lucky not to go early, dropped in the slips. |  |

Ffs what are they thinking?...  ..Two of our experienced players. Are they rattled that much by Aussie chatter?....Pathetic |  | | |

Australia's lower order from Brad Haddin down have taken the third Test in Perth away from England, just as they did in Brisbane and Adelaide. In all three Tests Australia's last five wickets have added more than the top five and this was most pronounced in Perth during the second day of the third Test. | | | |

Embarrassing ,shameful & completely humiliating.
That's it....... |  |
| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |

This is very poor. I think that you have to look at the management.
Blimey we just took a wicket - put Carberry behind the stumps! |  | | |

This has turned out to be a tour too far for quite a few. Pietersen, Prior, Swann and Anderson have been great servants, but, have not been up to it. I expect at least two to retire to avoid the ignominy of being dropped. |  |

Thrown the ashes away like a crack head flogging the cherished and loved family silver,been a middlesex fan since 1980, the days of Edmonds,Cowans,Daniel,Brearley and Emburey.Every day filled with foreboding coming down the stairs to see England lifting up their hindquarters aka 'the potting shed@scum' in supplication to porn star Johnson,whilst he whispers sweet nothings in our ear.How Prior can keep his place is beyond me.didnt understand the dropping of Tremlett.Stokes will never be a test no 6 as long as ive got an arshole.montys recall was equally baffling (terrible season personally and looking for a club ,essex only takers!).finn has had the speed coached out of him with concerns over his action.just tell him to bowl fast and straight ffs. fck worrying about where his fcking trailing leg falls.Anderson hasnt bowled well since the first test in the summer(would love to know his avg since then).i admit rankin hasnt bowled well on this tour but hes the nearest thing to the amourey that the aussies have.attack of
tremlett,reankin,broad and anderson for next test.call up bopari at no#6 bring bairstow in for prior.that is the only chance of drawing the series.we were lucky in the summer,2-1 would have been a fair reflection, the attitude in the last test with kerrigan thrown in smacked of arrogance and the aussies are revelling in our pain.No shame in losing but giving up the the ashes without a fight .......
Written b4 this test....
what a fcking suprise..the management have fcked this tour with there sht selections and treatment of tremlett rankin , finn. Well done for leaving the countrys leading wicket taker for the last few seasons grahame onions at home as well.inspired!! .oi, cook .flower why dont you play a team of 11 allrounders just to be on the safe side....cnts.

In the end, another spineless batting performance will cost us. The bowlers gave us half a chance in restricting them to 380 but ultimately, unless the weather intervenes, all I can see is another 250-300 run defeat. Apart from the first session and a half at Brisbane, they have been under no pressure whatsoever in this series. [Post edited 15 Dec 2013 10:04]

Exactly what i expected to wake up to,a pathetic gutless display once again.
Aussies about to cruise past our total with only a few wickets down.
Fcuking ridiculous.
We have lost EVERY SINGLE days cricket since the series started.How is that possible?????
Well they've clearly not prepared correctly once again and the Aussies smelt blood from the very start. [Post edited 15 Dec 2013 9:46]

We'll lose this test with consummate ease and the next and the next.
We haven't even come close to winning a game out there.
I'll bite my bottom lip and say well done to the Australians they've whooped us good, shoved it right back up us, bowling-batting the whole goddam deal. |  |

You have to blame the management to some extent as they've probably taken too long to introduce fresh blood to the side but then again we might have changed the side and ended up in the same place and then everyone would be saying bring back the old guard.
We didn't bat well enough, again, and that's been the problem. I've always thought of us as a bowling side anyway but now we aren't even giving our bowlers a minimal protection so they are always tired and then their batting is affected as well so they don't get many runs and then have to bowl again and it's a downward spiral. We need to get blokes out there who can stay out there and grind out some runs. Ballance is the obvious candidate of the current squad, so I'd expect to see him coming in, perhaps for KP. Stokes would be very unfortunate to be dropped. I wouldn't have picked Bresnan here and he hasn't done much. I'd have gone for Rankin on this pitch, but you can't say that this would have been decisive. Would like to see Rankin given game though. Prior looks shot so surely Bairstow is worth a game - that would give us an XI something like this:
Cook
Carberry
Root
Bell
Ballance
Bairstow
Stokes
Broad/Finn
Swann
Rankin
Anderson | | | |

Isn't it ironic that the player who took all the stick for not walking in the summer can't walk now?. |  | | |

It'll be 5-0 no doubt, but this is far worse than 2006/7, at least Australia still had their great players playing then.
Abject surrender. Not one player emerges with any credit. | |

England started day three in Perth with hopes of at least asking a question or two of Australia, they ended it in a position that has become depressingly familiar on this tour... deep in trouble and facing heavy defeat. | | | |
| Ashes Winter thread on 03:52 - Dec 16 with 909 views | Nov77 |
Anderson goes for 28 off his last over. Yet another declaration.
England need 503.
Reckon it'll all be over today. Gutless. Embarrassing. | |

In true newgolddream style, "That was Alastair Cook's first first-baller in Test cricket - and he's the first man to get a first-baller in his 100th Test."
This is shocking stuff... | |
