No. WE are so screwed.... all bets are on for how long before Cook prods to first slip.

And Nein not showing the cricket in HD on GEM. Nath suggested this would happen last week, but I found an online TV guide which said they were. But they're not. Yet another argument for Pay TV to be allowed unfettered access to sport in Ustralia and for the FTA channels to suck it up, or improve their game. Qunts, qunts, qunts, qunts, qunts...

I'll say one thing though...

A repeat of Leeds 2009 or not coming up... batting first and making Aus bat last is the way we've gained our last 4 test wins by putting on a score and then putting them under some pressure. The only thing to do.

Anyone got a dodgy live stream for this for a mate of mine in the US?

SEriously, Nein aren't showing this on HD?

Uberqunts.

And if anyone wants to give Nein a serve for not showing it in HD, instead screening Friends (FFS)...

Indeed. And if you want to give them a serve, Here's the link to the GEM launch announcement a couple of months ago.

Following on from the outstanding success of the GO! multi-channel, the Nine Network today announced plans for a third channel, GEM, which will launch on Sunday, September 26 aimed at the sophisticated, discerning viewer.
GEM will be a mix of new content, classic comedies, cherished drama series, all-time favorite movies, and all of Nine’s sport coverage in high definition.

Best 1st day performance at The 'Gabba batting first by England - 263-6 (Barnett 69, Leyland 126) - 4 December 1936 (Result - England won by 322)

Worst 1st day performance batting first by England - 134 all out (Davidson 3-36, Meckiff 3-33, Benaud 3-46) - 5 December 1958. (Result - Australia won by 8 wkts)

Just a little bit excited right now....

Just rang Nein. They said they'd had 'too many complaints that they were showing the cricket on two of our channels... If we could just show it on our HD channel, we would...'

I reckon that by the end of the day today, they'll have ten times as many complaints that they're not showing the cricket in HD.

No not video but he should be able to pick up TMS on his 'pooter

Here come the umpires.

Cameras in the dressing rooms - is Nicholas hoping to glimpse a bit o' c*ck?

Billy Doctrove and Aleem Dar umpiring. c*ck ups at one end, good fair decisions at the other.

Come on England!!

A ball hasn't even been bowled yet and already I want Mark Nicholas to shut the f*ck up.

I'd forgotten how funny some of the cricinfo correspondants could be.

Milf to open the bowling.

Come Engerland.

FARK!

Strausser out straight away, duffer's shot. DRAMA!!!

So, where did the first ball go? Please tell me it hit Ponting on the head....

******'s sake:
