Aye.

Rain might prevent a whitewash.

Was thinking more about playing YT at 6.

the JGK curse

Phurt, there's no such thing.

Trev is the destroyer of careers.

Jordan Silk is highly rated as a technically correct top order batsman, no?

There's a 3 in YTs postcode that excludes him from being picked

JGK trying to be a bigger SGDT than skully

Ah, good point. With Rogers and Siddle already playing, 3 Vixen in the side is a recipe for disaster.

He's massively overrated.

But lovely to touch.

It shouldn't have been a tough decsion at all. The only thing stopping it was an inability to say " we got it wrong".

What skulls said and what I've been saying since November. Do it and it's only the weather stopping 3-0.

Might have to think up a variation on "hawaii".

Poms batting 1st

For England, James Tredwell and Stuart Broad come into the team at the expense of Joe Root and Boyd Rankin.

Australia have made three changes: Mitchell Johnson, Clint McKay and George Bailey are out, replaced by James Pattinson, Xavier Doherty and Dan Christian.

God, fancy having an XI with BOTH NoShow & Washo.   

Chef looking much surer and more positive today.

Looks a typical SCG deck. Will be slow in middle overs. Doh could go OK today.

Belf almost chips it to NCN.

Doh refers an lbw out v Chef.

Bouncing over off. Not out.

Lark drops Belf at short point. Could be England's day.

And Chef chucks it away by lifting a cut off NCN to a diving NoShow at cover.

Stokes at three. For England that is thoroughly audacious.

You just know Bell is about to chuck it away here.

Fantastic throw from the deep by FW finds Belf out. 2-69.

nice work

NoShow gets Stokes but Stokes reviews.

Over the top again.
