You were saying?

Disappointing batting from England, poor shots throwing wickets away against an attack that doesn't seem to be especially threatening.

The track looks pretty flat, and we are throwing it away.

I can see us getting nailed here

We should have been looking at 400+ on this wicket, so we need these two to go on and make big runs if we are going to achieve at least par.

Cook's 50 up, at least he is playing a sensible innings.

172/4 at tea. Bell and Cook with 47 off 92.

Evening sesh just starting

2 in 2 balls for Siddle, England rocking at 197/6, looking well short of where we should be.

Broad bowled LBW - HAT-TRICK (being revised)

EDIT - OUT!!!

I think I'll need a beer before work after that.

Holding on until day 2 is the task now

I thought the Aussies squandered their referrals, but ours have been embarrassing.

There goes the 8th and thankfully so do the players for rain

And back they come.

We can't even get it to rain right

260 all out. Doherty with last 2 wickets.

Aus 25/0 at close of play

Been waiting for you to pop up on a England thread............just about sums up your knowledge of cricket.
