I doubt it'll go five days. What day is your ticket for? I'm not sure if day 5 tickets will qualify for refunds or not. Check the terms and conditions.
Judging by that shot, no. Don't know what he thinks the mortal hurry is.
Day 5. Paid £50 for it. Need the poms to dig in here.

a lead of anything over 300 *should* be enough, though we should be aiming for 450+ to be sure.
Just seen the highlights on Channel 5 - what an amazing day's cricket. Well bowled Broad especially and Swann. England should win from here, but the Aussies have still got an outside chance I reckon. If (and its a big if) they could bowl England out for less than 200 tomorrow they might have a chance.

Hands up everyone who wanted Broad dropped then.

I saw Broad bowl well against West Indies, and he was better looking live than I expected. But then I lost faith in him again. I'll admit it, I didn't think he had it in him either. Brilliant today. Absolutely brilliant.
Have to say that Collingwood got out to an appalling shot. Overall, he's had a very poor series, as have Bell, Cook and Bopara – all averaging under 30. England's 7, 8 and 9 are averaging more over the series than their 3, 4 and 5. Thank fuck for Strauss, really.

300 won't be enough, I don't think. 450 with 2 clear days to bowl the aussies out.

i really can't see australia getting much more than 300 batting last on that pitch. 300 lead could well be enough.
We'll see. I just don't see a collapse of those proportions again.

I'd like to see England score 200+, really. Just one decent partnership should do it. Even a bright and breezy 50 from Prior should do it.
And umpires, watch out for NO BALLS.

most of the experts were saying that 350ish was a par score for the first innings. now i'm not saying that 300 will definitely be enough, but looking at the way the pitch is breaking up it's very conceivable that england could fudge this innings and skittle the aussies again.
300 as a minimum, but preferably 450+
