Australia are probably going to lose Second test match in Lords.England are already leading 500 plus runs in just third day.First Win in a series is vital for a side.England would happy to take lead in this emotional series.
Fresh multi talented cricketers in English camp like Swann,Matt prior,Broad have rekindled their energy.Andrew Strauss bats like really cool test match Batsman.This is last series for Big Boy Flintoff.Wish him a happy farewell.
Difference between last test match and this one is improved bowling by England and poor batting by Australia.Surely newly added Onions has spiced up English bowling.Anderson has finally arrived as their major weapon and was instrumental in destroying Aussie lineup which was looking good last match .
Batting collapse is very destructive for any side in test matches and can cause unexpected results.Its unfortunate that both batting and bowling failed badly for Australia this match.

The major problem for Aussies in this test match was their wayward bowling by their bowlers particularly Mitchell Johnson.Johnson was expected to spearhead Aussie attack in absence of Brett Lee.If something is missing in Aussie attack these days,its lack of single Match winning bowler like Shane Warne.
Retirements of Legends from side like Gilly ,Hayden,McGrath had already weakened side.Self demolition of Symonds and Brett Lee's in and out form have done more damage to their strength.
Ricky ponting is looking
helpless leader in this test match. He will be having awful dreams of Ashes defeat these days though its a long way to go.With this bowling attack Australia aren't going to win Ashes.Transition period hasn't been smooth for Aussies.Their Twenty-20 World cup exit only proved their weaker state.Ashes Win is best gift England team can get this time.Freddie would be happy man to go on winning note.
