Was talking to my old man this morning (he has lived in Adelaide for the past 28 years and has been at the first 3 days); he reckons this is the best England team he has seen tour down under in that time. He also took great pleasure in the faces on many of the younger Australian supporters who are not used to seeing their boys take a hammering especially from us. He said that they looked like "a bunch of stunned Mullets"

Loving watching the Aussies running out yet again to field already 306 behind. Might only make it to Lunchtime as I have to work tomorrow - lets see!

 

[Beach Hut]

Here we go, should bat for 10 overs max

Think Strauss has made a mistake here, really hope he doesn't keep them out long I.e. more than 30 mins

Lots of empty seats there I see ?

Should KP being going for these quick singles if his hamstring is a bit sore?

Well to be fair it is Monday so many will be at work. Should fill up as the day goes on hopefully. Biggest England contingent my old man has seen at the oval for years though. Recession? What recession!?

Yes as he won't be batting again in this match!

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Yes as he won't be batting again in this match!

Worth risking him missing the next test though? Never mind, out
