          Slight advantage to them at this stage but we will be happy with the pitch.

            If the tail can put on another 30 tomorrow I'll be happy. Always hard to know how good a score is until the other side have had a hit.

              What a boring sport. At least it is a sport though, I suppose. Just.

              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



              May the Lord bless this post.

                  I use to find it pretty boring but it's not too bad when you get into it, i think the twenty20 is a bit better then test cricket though

                      Doing a reasonable job. Our tail is so much stronger than it has been for years which is pleasing. Difficult to assess the track given that only we have batted on it but we have a decent score to defend already and it looks like it will take spin. Get another 20 on the board and we will be set pretty fair I think.

                        1143 - 402-8 A big mental blow struck by these England tailenders, as Punter is forced to turn to the spin of Nathan Hauritz. Big turner from Hauritz, and Haddin doesn't get a glove on it and the ball races away for four. TAKE THAT YOU SWINE! Swanny sashays down the track and thrashes Hauritz over Cow Corner for four. This is all getting a little bit humiliating for Punter and his chaps - Swann crashes Hauritz straight, the man at long-on is wrong-footed by the spin, and the ball dribbles over the rope for four. SWITCH HIT! Swanny's taking the rise now, flipping the hands and sweeping Hauritz down to the third-man fence. That's the 400 up...


                        Good score now, hope we can skittle them after lunch

                          This is definitely a very average Australian side, they are there for the taking.

                              It suggests theres defo runs to be had for the Aussies too though.

                                I don't think the Aussie attack is that potent - if McGrath, Warne and Lee had been on the field there is no way on this earth we would have 300 on the board, never mind 400+
