plus the 5 wickets down already i'm liking this

*runs back to tv*

With Clarke injured.. I think the current partnership needs to be damm good otherwise Australia lose this test aswell.

Australia need 2 centuries atleast now to get into a decent position to bowl in the 2nd innings and hopefully restrict England in setting a high target. ~250 - ~350 would be ideal for Australia to chase on a good batting surface (but then again, looking at Australia's current batting form, a target of ~200 by England would be a big ask for Aust)

I think the balance of the team is wrong. I'd drop Katich for Brad Hodge, and perhaps Tait or Kasprowicz for Dizzy. too much is being relied on just 3 bowlers, whereas england have 5

What, so you drop a guy who bowls not too bad spin for a guy that can't (to the best of my knowledge) bowl?

Hodge bowls in county cricket here. However If you want a second spinner, pick Macgill, and give Hodge (who I can assure you is a scurge of many english bowler here) to score the runs that katich isn't.


As for today, well, it's manchester, you can't go more than 3 days without rain

anything is possible in manchester. it might not stop raining until december. then again it might be blue skies and red hot in 20 minutes. you really can't tell

Sounds exactly like where I live.

Warne is going great guns on 78 off 104. Gillespie doing ok as well, guess you could call 7 runs of 54 balls solid.

Geez our top order needs to pull their finger out.

Oh well, he's now the highest ever runscorer without a century. Or so I am led to believe.
