Swann getting some turn, only a matter of time......

 

[Scoffers]

Bresnan gets Hughes, 2 down

Milk or dark chocolate? If it's dark, throw me a wedge. Ta.

Sorry, milk.

 

[olliwarne]

swanny getting some nice turn again after tea !

 

[pasty]

Jimmy strikes. 3 down, 7 to go. Australian score completely irrelevant. Like to see another 3 or 4 wickets this morning so I don't have to stay up too late to see the win tomorrow.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Bowling so well at the moment. Hopefully we really are this good, not just the Aussies being so bad currently!

 

[pasty]

Right, well thats me done. Gawd knows what state I'm going to be in at work today after an all-nighter, but time to go now. Just hope nothing mental happens now and we take 7 wickets in the remaining time as I'll miss it.

 

[pasty]

Oh yes, just seen that one before I go. 4 down, 6 to go

 

[Gwylan]

Beautiful bowling by Anderson to get Clarke. Pup didn't look pleased

Good catch by Matty - he's really had a storming series

 

[Beach Hut]

161/5 Hussey out

 

[sams dad]

171-7 Tremlett on a hat-trick !

 

[Gwylan]

Have Australia ever lost three games in a series by an innings? This has been a massacre

And so unfair on poor Alistair Cook who has had to try and break records for runs in the series despite potentially not batting 3 times. That's typical unfair Aussie sportsmanship I'd say.

 

[sydney]

the weather is not looking too good tomorrow boys.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Is that true Sydney or are you having a giggle?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

BBC say the forecast for tomorrow is fine, dont panic!

Maybe sydney was talking from an Australian perspective?

 

[Simster]

In the other test match, it looks like India aren't even going to bother chasing the 340 they need to win.

41/1 in the 21st over...

 

[ROSM]

Given the worries about the weather, perhaps we need to ask Tony Greig.

'well the bureau advise that the player comfort levels will be stinking f***ing hot and stinking f***ing humid. Let's have an update from the old scrotometer.'
