Ashes: 3rd Test @ Perth

[pasty]

Anyone staying up? Long wait for an 0230 start. Especially considering our form there:

England have lost eight of their 12 Tests at the Waca

Their only victory at the ground came against a weakened Australia side in 1978

In the 2010-11 Ashes they were beaten by 267 runs, with Mitchell Johnson taking match figures of 9-82

Will Bresnan make the 11? Will England go with an all seam attack? Will an England batsmen manage to hit a ball from Johnson?

I can't watch.

I will probably catch some of it. I have undiagnosed sleep apnoea, so will no doubt be around at some point during the first session.

I can't watch.

Indeed. Might be a bit of this......

Will be listening to TMS on way to work.

This promises to be another 10 wicket haul for Johnson.

[pasty]

Wow. That was some freaky didgeridoo playing going on there!!!

 

[atfc village]

It was indeed ,time to stick it to The Aussies.

 

[pasty]

What a hit!!!!! Brilliant Jimmy

13/1 Rogers run out

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great stuff from Jimmy!

 

[atfc village]

Things like that win matches

 

[brightonmark1234]

this bowling is crap

 

[nwgull]

We need to win a toss and have first bat. This test will go the same way as the other 2.

 

[pasty]

Broad certainly seems a bit out of sorts.

 

[atfc village]

Watson gone 52 for 2

 

[pasty]

Way hay. Genuinely the old "went for a slash and miss a wicket" trick worked!!
