Just got up and can't quite believe it...
Hang on I seem to have missed the entire Australian first innings 🙂 that must have silenced a lot of the 91,000.
Lol! Presumed it was rain delayed and we had made a solid start. Then saw we had skittled them too!
Woke to hear Cook get his 50 and England take the lead, thought I was still dreaming.
Michael Vaughan was in fine form on TMS 🙂
woeful, shocking, demoralising, pathetic and appalling day for Australian cricket... time to write our obituary and cremate a set of bails of our own methinks 🙁
psychle, if England are all out by 300 and you score 600 in your second innings... Sorry, Santa's done for this year!
With a cloudy start we easily could 🙁

Thought you were an English hating Welshman?... 😉
But it's the England and [b]Wales[/b] cricket team.
I don't know many Welsh folk that hate the English. We do on the whole hate the English rugby team tho. Happy to cheer 'em on in cricket (although yes I know it's technically Wales too) and in football.
molgrips, would you really? In a game deciding the WC qualification? I'd love to believe but am struggling.
where on line can I listen to the commentary outside of the UK?
Can you not get it on Radio 4 long-wave?
see if anything here works

Use a proxy to give you a UK IP address for TMS on iPlayer?
Bah - I'm going to bed. Wickets keep falling whilst I'm following this game, and we only have a 72 run lead.
🙂 was thinking similar aracer, was doing far better when I was sleeping!
Siddle bowling well. Come on Kevin get your eye in!
Off to bed, Aussies are rubbish when I'm not watching.
🙂 was actually going to bed and the realised I am not bruce almighty so it doesn't really matter. Just got a text off my boss to say she forgot to say we had a 250 quid bonus so going to watch a few more overs with a wine or maybe a short . 🙂
Not that it has anything to do with it other than I have the impetus to stay up;)
Sounds like a dull night's cricket 🙂
Sounds like Ricky really lost the plot. Another hour of positive batting tomorrow morning and then let's get torn into them again.
Do we have to play the fifth test if we retain the Ashes after four 🙂
A big LOL @ Punter 🙂
Do we have to play the fifth test if we retain the Ashes after four?
It would be nice to [b]win[/b] the Ashes series, not just retain them.
Also, I've got a couple of mates currently on their way out there for the 5th who may have something to say about a cancellation.
He was giving it loads, prob knows he will have been sacked by the 5th test! 😀
molgrips, would you really? In a game deciding the WC qualification? I'd love to believe but am struggling.
If it were ever the case that England and Wales were playing each other for the same spot in some WC finals then I'd have to have a bit of a think. But let's face it, that's pretty much never going to happen, because Wales are rubbish at football. I know people complain about England also being rubbish but seriously they are in a different league! Wales would most likely get thumped in the group stages anyway so there'd be less home football to watch that way.
But then I am half English 🙂
Evening/morning everyone.... especially to psychle 🙂 Don't worry mate I'm sure Oz can rebuild... Waited 20+ yrs for this. Declaration anyone?
punter's just been replayed on TMS from his ABC interview trying to justify being an arse 😉
I'd like England to reach some 600 runs and declare then. It'd be the [yankee]maddafakkaov the cowm baak[/yankee].
psychle, you can always win it, collapse England in 5 overs, bat 500+ and then kill England again.
May the prettier WAGs win!
I reckon this is it!
Bowling maidens won't help your cause, the bowlers will be shattered, the fielders cold.
Just watching the highlights from yesterday. Can't believe Punter only got a 40% fine - surely they should have given him a 1 match ban, so that he could retire sometime tomorrow or the day after. I have a certain respect for his achievements, but right now he's showing his ugly side - if he hangs on as captain it will only be because the obvious replacements are in rubbish form themselves.
Prior, you silly sod!
Oh burger - we're struggling here with only a 361 run lead /6.
Time to go to bed soon? Just like yesterday?
maybe, could be here a while yet. 8)
Do you realise as soon as we all went the Aussies became England-of-the-90's Mk.2?
god we're awful. 465-7. 🙄
