    65 without loss – and 52 of the runs coming from 4s!

    N. ICE!

    There were a few edges in there at the start, but still good result so far for the Poms… poor bowling from the Aussies with a new ball (though sounds like the pitch is even more batsman friendly than Cardiff!)

    Yup – by the sound of it the pitch is as flat as.

    So – another draw on the cards then?

    Good lord… what a horrible day for the bowlers 😯 Finally a wicket though, hurrah! Shame for Cook to fall short of a well deserved ton…

    Bopara out, too agressive again IMO.

    imagine Ritchie Benaud saying that (tchoo for tchoo twenty tchoo 😀 Actually, maybe you have to grow up with him commentating Aussie games for that to make sense 😆 )

    things have evened up a bit now, thankfully 8) top innings from Strauss so far, a real captains knock, kudos 😀

    a double Nelson (222) and a triple Nelson (333) in the same innings… gotta love cricketing superstitions! 😀

    Yep, on TMS they were trying to work out what the Aussies would do to counteract the sextuple nelson they had last week. I'd say it was your day psychle-particularly disappointing as we had such a good opportunity. Almost 200 without loss, Johnson chucking pies, Hauritz crippled. Did exactly what we did last week, seem to have forgotten this isn't a 1 day match.

    You beauty! Nice way to start the day 😀

    Lovely delivery from Hilfenhaus! Baaaaad leave from Straus…

    Doh!
    Hilfenhaus looks a really handy bowler. Fantastic so far this series, unlike Johnson.

    Excellent morning for Oz so far, a farcical collapse from England really… Let's see what our batsman can make of this pitch… hopefully a repeat of Cardiff (our first innings that is 😀 )

    not crying yet guv'ner… plenty of fight in us Aussie's, we'll come back don't you worry 😀

    Well, here's our new batting lineup: Strauss, Cook, Anderson, Onions, Broad, Swann, Monty, Freddie.

    Now who will be the bowlers?

    To state the obvious, there's a lot of match left in this wicket. We do seem to have them under the cosh at the moment. Roll the clock back an hour and the reverse was true, love matches like this. Would like to have the Aussies out for less than 350.

    I love the way Ponting is unhappy about being out caught (correctly), when he would have actually been out LBW that ball if the umpire hadn't thought he'd hit it!

    psychle

    He's unhappy because the umpire made a bad decision… he didn't hit that at all. Maybe he could have been given out LBW, but Koertzen may have already adjudged that not out (though maybe because he thought there was an inside edge… who knows. That's cricket though, you take the good with the bad 🙄 )

    He's unhappy because he has a face like an Easter Island statue sh1tting razor blades. Miserable little piggy-eyed runt.
    fair player, mind 😉

    It's unusual for the good (not being given out LBW when he was) to be quite so coincident with the bad (being given out caught when he wasn't) 🙂

    half an hour ago I was just thinking that the day would turn out fairly even, then Katich and Hussey fall… bugger 🙁 the day is definitely England's now… can they capitalise or will Clarke and North dig in?

    crap… that answers that!

    No, Clarke and North won't be digging in 😀

    111-5 or 5-111

    Going well, isn't it, psychle?

    (BTW, you ride an Enduro, I think. Sure I've seen it in R'mond Park of an evening!)

    Yep not going too well right now, but teams have come back from worse positions… these two both scored centuries last test, so it's not like they're out of form. I do ride an Enduro, but most likely not me you've spotted in Richmond Park, I'm up Islington way (though do occaisionally get down there for a pottle).

    Ah, must be another then!

    you should get Dizzy "Double Centurion" Gillespie out of the TMS box for a bat!

    ha ha… that was one of the classic innings wasn't it? Against Bangladesh wasn't it?

    Just found a classic headline re. that innings:

    "Many better innings, but none more astonishing!" 😆
