Has to be Swann soon, rather than later.

No Flintoff though

How on earth a wicket hasn't fallen by now is a joke

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

We are now struggling big time. Missing the extra bowler.

Who would you leave out for the extra bowler?

 

[Dr_Pepper]

Leave Collingwood out and put Tremlett in

 

[Beach Hut]

All going very Pete Tong

 

[Giraffe]

We are struggling now, need a lucky breakthrough

 

[Simster]

oh. Dear.

 

[STERNS AND SURVIVED!!]

It could have been so different we bowled well at the start but now they are deflated.

 

[highway61]

Goodnight all

The wicket has FINALLY come! Haddin caught behind on the offside by Collingwood from Swann's bowling on 136, overall 450-6...I can go to bed now!

This is far from ideal. I think if we could just get one wicket we could get more, as we've actually bowled quite well. Atrocious decision not to give Hussey out earlier though, and on reflection that has f***ed us over.

Absolute piss take that was, how lucky can you get? Anderson was all over them in that first session, how many times did they play and miss - shitloads. Awful decision not to give him out lbw has cost us big time. Had that decision gone our way I rekon the scores wouldn't be far off even. Once the ball softened up we had no chance, I don't think the extra bowler would've made a difference.

I gave up at 3:30am because it was too demoralising to watch, god knows how the four bowlers must've felt.

that first how was very good, Jimmy on Fire and the Umpire loving Husseys LBW after that we went stale and flat and I went to sleep. Woke up at 5ish turned on the telly and saw the score...straight back to sleep!
We're 14/1 to win this now.....tempting but it'll never happen!

f***ing haddin is the luckiest convict alive

 

[jakarta]

Ah well, my prediction about the Convicts posting a 200 lead came true, unfortunately....

Anyone else watching this car crash tonight?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I shall watch some of it.

She isn't happy with the interruption either!
