Well I did make a mild suggestion on day 1 that KP, Colly and Freddie had chucked their wickets away.

One team would need to implode for a result in this Test...

Has anyone mentioned how Clarke yet again was out just before the end of a session?

Cloudy day this morning. Rain is expected, but probably not until lunch.

We want a washout dammit. Can't trust the Welshers for nout FFS.

We should have batted better first dig.

The Aussies seriously overrate the guy.

No reverse swing due to the wet. Jimmy rendered ineffective by a "rogue ball", allegedly. Swann impotent in the face of a proper batting line. Neither he or Monty able to create Edmonds-Emburey-style pressure. Draco still has lots to learn.

If England haven't got the bowling right this time, then f*ck knows by which test they'll have it sussed.

by JKLever Sat 11 Jul 2009, 10:41

We'll perform better when it swings. Always have...

So is it raining or not Smerky?

by Henry Sat 11 Jul 2009, 10:53

It's overcast apparently, but they'll start on time. Looking at the radar, the rain will hit Cardiff just beore lunch.

Sorry Taips, forgot Henry lived here aswell. Rolling Eyes

Naz just saying that the gloomy weather has saved the pitch from coming a dusty minefield.

Draw odds look pretty good.

We should remember that the ball swung on day one and hasn't swung since. It's bound to make the Australia attack look a bit better than the England one. It's a bit early to judge.

Phurt, it just means that English bowlers are as sh!t as Midge at swinging it. Milf and Cot got it to wobble and the Anderson Cycle meant that Jimmy swung a few yesty.

by taipan Sat 11 Jul 2009, 11:01

Why didn't they start early today?
