It's taking quite a lot of spin for half way through Day 2, tho.

Been doing that since Howitzer got excited with one around 5 ish yesterday afternoon!

The heavy roller between innings clearly ironed out any quirks ... good call from the Drunk.

Oz settling into the box seat.

Still waiting to see why Monty was selected.

I hate working during the Ashes. FML.

50 to Katich...well played that man...

Horrie will be horriefied.

Broad is a dross weasel. Imo he can't get away with the "Oh but he's still young and inexperienced" excuse anymore. This is his 18th test, and he has coaches pampering him all the time.

1/142 at Tea...session to the Aussies...

I make that 3-2 sessions in the Aussies favour.

by Shoeshine Fri Jul 10, 2009 12:43 am

Australia really should get about 550 from here.

Onions must be thinking....why?

by Henry Fri Jul 10, 2009 12:54 am

Does anyone know Ponting's batting average for the first test of a series?

by Henry Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:00 am

This test is all but guaranteed to be a draw now. Rain is forecast for both days 4 and 5, and the Cardiff drainage isn't the best.

On to Lord's then.........

so now no result ? how do you folks sit through this yawnathon ??

I mean it takes some nerve to pump this format up against everything else.

The last session yesterday was pretty much 50-50 though.

2-2 I think.

by doremi Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:13 am

Ponting was going at about a SR of 80, hitting only 3 4s in the innings. You really shouldn't be allowed to do that.

No one bit yet?

Ooh, good shout that. In fact, probably out, you bunch of cheating Aussies. Laughing

I wish it was "No Haurie". FFS, that was painful to watch.

And after 3 plumb lbws turned down, what chance Doctrove gives a couple of shockers in favour of England? Or should this be in the Sook thread?

Marginal paraoid apprehension proves unfounded. Dr D has turned down just as many good-ish to good Pom shouts already.

As long as they are consistent, they can abolish LBW if they want. ...

by PeterCS Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:22 am

Aus looking well set as of now.

(Not woofing or reverse woofing, just calling it as I see it.)

Decent bowling from Swann and Fred, not much threat or even control from the other three.

by Demelza Fri Jul 10, 2009 1:23 am

Yes, getting a bit frustrating now.
