Agreed - theres already been some uneven bounce and late swing so it could prove tricky to bat on later, especially our 2nd innings.
Lets hope the boys can finish the job and win the series 3-1

It is ironic that we can skittle out the so called good batsmen but cant remove the muppets with a bat.

Morning cricket fans. There are some advantages to being up this early for work: Ashes over breakfast

Well isn't that bloody typical, I get the chance to watch for a few minutes and not only does Strauss somehow get out, but Trott goes for a duck

Come on KP.

You have actually just missed some fantastic batting by both sides. The Aussie last two wickets put on about 90 in 15 or so overs. With Johnson and Hilfenhaus having a dart and getting away with it quite a bit, but also playing some top shots...and then England in response reaching 98-0 going at about 5 an over with Oz bowling too short and Strauss pulling them all over the place. Will probably go at 1.5 an over now.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Cook holes out off Beer but umpire Bowden spots the bowler overstepping 
How the HELL does a spinner overstep the crease??

no ball
That really is attrocious cricket. For a spinner to over step is pointless and just sloppy.

Cant believe with 5 overs to go The Ego takes on a bouncer, which from the angle of delivery is tucking him up and going across him and holes out to deep fine leg.
165 -2 would be massive as opposed 165-3 and the nightwatchman in.

In fairness to KP it was a good bouncer, it got big on him and he couldn't pull out. Give some credit to Johnson. I really don't like the nightwatchman though, all it does is gives Australia a decent start in the morning when inevitably Anderson will get out inside the first 15 minutes. At best he hangs around for half an hour and the runs dry up.

Come on Chris, glass half full mate! We are 113 behind with Cook set and Bell (due a biggie), Collingwood (ditto) and Prior to come.
Shirley we must be looking at a 100 plus runs lead?
BTW have now left Oz and spending a couple of days in Hong Kong before returning to frozzed UK, hope to see you at next Sussex CCC Quiz Night
