The toss is always important, but this one more so than the one at the Gabba

An Aussie making excuses before the start of day three?

[animal magic]

we have to bowl the aussies out tonight to give eng enough time to get a big lead

[Rocket]

new day about to start, what do you reckon?

would love to say they could go for the win, but i reckon England will only get a draw

[OldManRed]

Draw for me too. But I reckon if Monty had played rather than Anderson it may have been different because the pitch is going to turn big time.
England's second innings is going to be tough against that pot smoking spinner

[Rocket]

maybe England can force the follow on

[OldManRed]

maybe England can force the follow on

Even if they could, would you want to? Consider the state of the pitch on day 5?

My memory of England forcing follow-ons isn't to happy. Typically a side which collapses in the first innings does better in the second. Anyway, its probably a mute question as the Aussies aren't going to let it happen (unfortunatley).

I'm just hoping Harmy gets some confidence and Anderson starts to get his control back. Not Anderson's conditions but if we get swing conditions at some point in a future match he and Hoggy will be important and I'd like him to be ready.


-Aghh bloody hell wicket - what do I know

[Rocket]

hayden gone 35/2

[shadow]

great start from hoggy - set up hayden for that one

Gotta work out a way of getting ponting out now

[Rocket]

another one down

woooo

[Red_Polo]

Aussies digging in now, century for Ponting.

Noticed this on BBC live comms thought I'd post it...

"1629: Giles tosses one up and Hussey slaps him through the covers for four. I might save the previous sentence and just copy and paste when necesary, which could be often. 213-3 "

How Monty is not playing I don't know.

An Aussie making excuses before the start of day three?

No excuses from me.
