GOT 'IM!!!! Ponting gone.... Great catch from Collingwood... 17-2

Wonder if the Aussie's decision to produce a 'result' pitch will backfire on them....

Okay, very very early days I know, but if England win this test, do you think Ponting will still be captain for the 4th? I have my doubts.

i reckon in that scenario he may well stand down as skipper, but maybe retain his place

Hmmm.... Good question, difficult to call that one. I'm sure their media will have a field day.

[astill86]

Oh dear Michael Clarke.

Gotta get Hussey early

Lunch prediction: 99/3, including another Ponting duck

Looks like I might have over-estimated the Aussies

And there you go.....Good call - didn't think Jimmy was quite in his zone

Tremlett is bowling out of his skin. Very nearly got Watson there.

 

[highway61]

i would like to think Hussey due a low score

 

[highway61]

Prior in great form

 

[highway61]

So is it about an hour till lunch then now? If so i reckon i will make it through
