Perhaps now is the time to follow that route I remember Close coming from his reclled test innings black and blue through bruising but still stayed at the crease. Perhaps one such old hand could add stability to the middle order to stop the usual collapse. Problem is I am not up on...

He has ability to open for us and possibly worth taking a chance. What other options are there, worth trying?

Could do worse than try to talk Marcus Trescothick into playing again as an opener with Cook oldies will remember the ECB getting Rev David Shepherd to make a comeback for a test.

Englands top order are an absolute disgrace on what the Australians have shown to be a good easy batting wicket.

Will they cancel lunch tomorrow as it wont be needed.

Time for us all to do a rain dance me thinks. Could always hope for a century each for Cook and Bell that would use a lot of overs.

Shows what I know as I would always enforce the follow on. Then bowl England out starting with a couple of wickets tonght leaving most of the last day to score the runs. Hopefully we can restrict their rate of scoring and get a draw.

Going to be touch and go to avoid follow on would assume they will enforce it. Bowl us out with ample time to knock off the required runs.

I have just signed into the weather to check the current temp in Limassol and flash showed rain expected in London in 13 mins.

That was a hope that Clsrk would play safe and try to up the rquired follow on figure. If we dont follow on we will be ok.

I think that they will declare to have 45 mins at England tonight, I hope not I hope they see the day out then declare overnight. We have to then dig in and try to still be in bat at lunch the day after tomorrow (4th day) let the runs come as they do dont chase them just occupy the crease.

Or is our bowling poor I dont know as havent seen any of it, just asking.

Home from holiday Sunday I hope it is to a couple of days of rain. What is the forecast? Can rain save us with a draw?
