It's pretty bad but remember England have done this over 5 tests, twice. So be glad Australia actually turned up for one test.

Look at the difference at how Cook is nicking, compared to the Aussies - Voges and SMarsh in particular.

yeah that's what it'd be. playing with soft hands, not going hard at the ball. our batsmen could learn a lesson from Cook.
