ugly to the north but passing through.

I am about thirty minutes south (Bayside) and the wind is feral but it's not raining. At least this interruption might draw out the match to the climax.

This delay SHOULD rule out Aust setting a target.

Bannie fielding continues to excel. Buck dropped at 2nd slip.

Drop the soft cock. Twatson plonks forward and glides a catch to Emma. Qunt.

So Twatto loses the battle of shites....

Just got up and switched on. Heard some idiot commentator say Watson must dominate as that is the job of a number three. First ball I watched......

Shane Watson departs the scene, followed five minutes later by Shane Watson's bottom lip.....the new batsman has made nearly as many centuries this month as Watson has in a 10 year career.

Twatson really has the concentration of a retarded gnat. That was a foot and a half outside off.

Aberrant weather?

With the Ashes coming next year, the NSP has to fark the useless fat qunt off and pick a youngster.

...and if they can't find one of them put a cardboard cut-out of Ricky Ponting in his place.

This innings may not be 50 yet, and he ideally will get past there and maybe as far as 60 or beyond, but surely it's become obvious we need Rogers for when the Rat fails and Watto only performs to expectations.

2 pairs of 50s for Buck. I suppose he gets a pass.

Take his innings out of our last day in Brisbane and we're arse deep in trouble.

grudging!

Buddy Franklin on for India

Play Watto at six. Get some value out of him.

We don't need him. We already have blokes that can both bowl and bat.

Nostrils bowling tosh to Tweak.

Tweak falls for the leg trap. Deary me.

Buck fails to get out of the 50s again. SOFT as.

Aus skilfully playing themselves into danger here. Qunts.

Buck might dodge a bullet here.

That hit the ground first.
