Well, nobody put their name up in lights to replace Broad in the Victoria game so I'm guessing they'll go like for like in terms of style and bring in Tremlett.

It's looking like that.
Let's hope for England's sake that he (a) lasts the 5 days & (b) does the business with the ball.
For this one it will be early mornings to watch the last session rather than late nights to catch the pre-lunch session.

what time starts will it be?

From 2am on Sky, times of play should be 2.30 - 4.30, 5.10 - 7.10, 7.30 - 9.30

cheers, might be doing the last hour before tea, then a bit of 5 live sports xtra at work

Swannys video blogs are good to watch on YouTube.

Seems odds on that Tremlett will replace Broad. Let's hope he lasts the 5 days. The weather certainly should, slight risk of rain. weather.thewest.yahoo.com.au/loc ... /wa/Perth/

Good score to wake up to, looks like Tremlett has done well too.

yep - would have taken all of that before we started, sounds like we bowled some tosh at the tail though and maybe gave them 40/50 more than we might.

A mixture of "off key" bowling and some good/lucky shots by Johnson and Siddel tbh mate.
It's ours to lose imo par for a 1st innings is 300+ and i think our form batsmen can handle the aussie attack no problem.

Great first day for England.
I watched the 1st session live & again couldn't believe how poorly the Aussie 1st 4 batted.
Tremlett looks like a good selection.
Stunning catch by Collingwood to dismiss Ponting & the Swann one wasn't far behind it.
The Aussie tail showed how easy the pitch is once the ball gets soft.
That makes England's start so good. If we get through the 1st hour tomorrow we should be in for another matchwinning score.

Not what I was hoping to wake up to, that tail wag does look expensive now

Yep they've come back and hit us hard and tbh we should been ready for it.
We can still get the win/draw if we can restrict them to 300 or under lead imo.

Barring interruptions from the weather on a significant scale, this is a result game now with 23 wickets gone on the first two days.

Australia are in the box seat, history shows that chasing 300 successfully to win a Test doesn't happen very often.

That's very true but IF we can see off Johnson with the new ball i think the team are more than capable of turning it around.
