Botham says only 2 possible results
1. A draw
2. England win by gettinga 200 + lead and then bowling Aussies out.

What about us being bowled out very quick and even possibly having to follow on.

Would have to agree with that.

 

[BensGrandad]

I am sure that Ponting will be thinking along those lines also.

 

[sam86]

We need like 50 to avoid the follow on... I know England are known for collapsing, but come on.

 

[pasty]

There will be no result in this test. Which IMHO, is excellent as far as England are concerned. 1-0 up with 2 to play. An excellent chance to regain the little urn.

 

[BensGrandad]

When we have passed the follow on figure then Beefy could be right but Onions got 2 wickets with first 2 balls so Bell or Strauss and Collingwood and anything is possible, unlikely but possible.

 

[John Boy]

England avoided the follow on ages ago. We are only 147 runs behind, and the follow on mark is 200 runs

Warne just said TWAT

 

[Taybha]

thus far that two twats and three twattings from mr warne,i wonder if the word has no other meaning in oz other than to hit a ball hard.

 

[sam86]

Swinggggggggg

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Any prospects of England scoring a RUN this morning?

Playing for the draw?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Warne is doing his best to prove what a complete prick he is. I always thought he was a cheating bastard and today proves it. Sky will do well to show him the door. Also his voice is so annoying, it sounds like a cat being strangled.

 

[Marc]

Strauss GONE

 

[Mackenzie]

We've got the 'rabbit caught in the headlights' look at the moment, somthing similar to when McGrath or Alderman used to bowl at the England team.

I think we need to get out of the batting crease and negate the swing, otherwise we'll not get to 200.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Bell gone.

Still he has kept his average intact.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Bell goes ... finally.

168/5

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Ohhh Rudy Koetzen does have a finger after all

He's having a shocker of a series.
