Here we go!!



Let's see how much the Aussies have been stung by what happened yesterday

 

[highway61]

We've had one great day, and are in a position of great potential but it's no use if we lose concentration & cave in for 250.

So I'll worry about what point we declare when we're in a position where it's an option and not before...

and i will be my usual bundle of nerves and "we are Doomed" mentality until we are on plane home with the urn lol

 

[SirElliotBennett]

so far they've bowled a lot fuller

1 bad day for them and the ground is half full.

On the highlights of yesterday earlier, I saw one of the Australian bowlers wazz one off WAY down the leg side and miles away for four leg byes, in a kind of reverse Harmison manner.

Who was that, I'd hazard a guess it was Mitchell Johnson? Whoever it was, it was HILARIO to see Haddin's face

 

[SirElliotBennett]

it will start to fill up during the day

Working streams anyone please ?

Is it still a bank holiday in Australia (Monday I mean)?

Lovely, thanks Edna, that's working a treat

I'm pretty sure it was a left armer, but I can't remember which of their other bowlers, if any, are lefties, apart from Johnson.

As usual it's the member's stand that's most empty.

I thought it was Rhino

He bowled a wide one as well!

 

[Beach Hut]

Interesting fact about yesterday was England are only the 2nd team in test cricket history to bowl out and be ahead with no wickets down on day one.

Previous was when New Zealand bowled out Pakistan for 104 and were 160/0 at stumps day one.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Cook gone

 

[Beach Hut]

Cook out 159/1

 

[Titanic]

Cook gone for 82... lucky catch by Watson at first slip, nearly spilt it

 

[SirElliotBennett]

Cook has gone
