The weather forecast is dodgy today and brilliant for Saturday and Sunday.
Just hope we dont get bowled out today and have to bowl for two whole days with Prior obviously not 100%

Glad to see GBH in. Cook and Bopara need to deliver at the top of the order, otherwise we could see ourselves going to The Oval at 1-1

I *heart* MAX.

Strauss has made a bold call to bat - the 5 day forecast says there's a 60% chance of rain and lots of cloud cover today, but sunny tomorrow.

Another word for "bold" might be STUPID.

Strauss in weird captains decision shock. What on Earth is he doing going in to bat? :US:

 

[Pavilionaire]

Anyone hazard a guess at to which will be over first - this test or Ronnie Biggs?

I say this test.

 

[CHAPPERS]

f*** ME, that swung a LONG way.

0.3
Hilfenhaus to Strauss, no run, a nice inswinger from outside off

"Billy Bowden's started with a shocker," says Warne. He's right, too. Strauss had practically tucked his bat under his arm!

0.2
Hilfenhaus to Strauss, 2 runs, pushed off the back foot

Sheesh. What a moment

0.1
Hilfenhaus to Strauss, no run, a big inswinger on middle stump! That's out, surely? But no! Inside edge, perhaps - there were two sounds. But replays show there was no bat on that

 

[CHAPPERS]

Probably should have been gone first ball there. Hitting top of leg.

 

[sten_super]

Haha, was that as plum as cricinfo are making out?

In response to Pavilionaire, Simster et al., Ponting said that had he won the toss he would have batted. So obviously both sides considered batting the better option.

How many threads do we need on one test match?

 

[Gazwag]

Haha, was that as plum as cricinfo are making out?

It was, although was swinging and would have taken out the very top of leg, bit like a first minutes penalty claim by the away side at Old Trafford

 

[CHAPPERS]

Gone now.

 

[sten_super]

O dear.

 

[sam86]

OMG

 

[Pavilionaire]

f***ing READ!

[Mendoza]

Did we win the toss and chose to bat??

 

[the viscount]

Pity it did not have the cricket ball againest the other thread may have f***ing spotted it then

 

[Gazwag]

Did we win the toss and chose to bat??

Yes, but Ponting said he would have batted as well
