[JimW]

Heh, spotted that gap

98 all out is a bit shit though. At the MCG. On Boxing day.

I believe the favoured term is 'ordinary'

 

[Santino]

If Harris doesn't come back for Syney, they will need to find a bowler who doesn't leak runs like a broken water main that's filled with runs instead of water.

The beauties of English.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

[Kaye]

Ha ha Hilfenhaus gets his third wicket...

[a_chap]

Damn - now Swann's out

 

[butchersapron]

[JimW]

Bit too derring-do from Swann there

 

[embree]

[Paulie Tandoori]

2-1?

you offering odds for an aussie fightback?

 

[Lo Siento.]

what odds on finishing this test match today?

 

[embree]

This the first time since 1928/9 that England have passed 500 three times in an Ashes series

Chris Tremlett went to the same sixth form college as Chris Packham, the BBC bird expert.

Fact of the series

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

[Kaye]

Hilfenwho got Tremlett.

 

[a_chap]

Tremlett's gone.

 

[JimW]

Oops

 

[Kaye]

what odds on finishing this test match today?

Unlikely. But I reckon I'd give 5/2.

 

[embree]

Ball's reversing

 

[butchersapron]

Reverse swing - hello!

 

[Santino]

Trott weighing up whether to protect his average or go for the 200. He's not exactly a dasher is he? 1500 Test runs and not one 6.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Is there much psychological difference between declaring and being bowled out, on either side? Just thinking if Australia can bowl us out they'll at least have some sense of achievement, whereas if we don't evengive them the chance...

 

[Santino]

Yeah, the momentum is swinging their way after they 'restrict' England to a lead of 415.

I don't think going for a 6 is ever sensible in this form of cricket (obviously chasing a total excepted).

6 for Siddle; that's dreadful for the rest of the Aussie bowlers.
