dont want to count our chickens but if these two stay there till lunch, Aussies will be very much under the cosh mentally. all those hours spent in field the last two weeks will bear heavy on them...I HOPE lol

Anyone see the Albion shirt in the background when Straussy celebrated his 50? Clear as day it was

 

[BensGrandad]

The mini collapse has come before kunch rather than just after so need Bell and Prior to dig in. 50 apiece for each of them would come in handy.

Bloody hell, the Aussies are changed people, from being as timid as a possum and as depressed as a 30 stone mans bed, they are now resembling vegitarians fed meat for the first time in 10 years, full of it and back to full pommie bashing.

Get stuck in Matty and Ian... a lead of 50 would be perfect.. (maybe wishful thinking but ..)

BTW where did the excessive swing come from?

We'll do well to get within 50 of their score now. This is where the imbalance of our side is going to show. Would have been nice to have Broady coming in after Prior, but our tail is much longer now

Morning all, this is what you dread, waking up and finding England 5 down for not plenty.
Game back on

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

f***ing hell, just read this mornings posts, you lot are f***ing shitty tipsters

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Shit, what a crappy way for Prior to get out, in the shit now

 

[astill86]

Oh dear, time to see what England really are made of now. Need to get as near to their score as possible to at least put them under some sort of pressure when they bat.

Kiss of death here, but Bell does look a class player these days.

Yep. He seems to have so much time when playing a shot, often the sign of a class player. Just hope he has the mental attitude sorted now. Having said that he'll probably get out in the minute.
