and goodnight from me.

Forget my grammar too. It's yuletide.

The use of a pyrrhic century is great and a link to the grammar thread on NSC. A hopeful pyrrhic century for Okey Cokey Stokesy is exactly why I love cricket. Today i was also impressed that the Barmy Army stopped the monotonous chant 'Barmy Army' and to the tune of Dad’s Armycame up with...

As the cracks widen it has to be in our favour. The new ball will shoot of them at all angles. The chance of ball hitting the wicket will be slim. Mattie and Stokes will both got centuries along with 50+ byes. Bresnan and Swann will enjoy themselves. Then I can envisage Broad coming in at 11 or...

I agree now, I should have waited for end of play. We should win by tea tomorrow!

Yes it's a close contest. I have to go with today, just. I had flown out that year to watch us win The Ashes, decided to cycle 500 miles around The Grampians and Great Ocean Road on the way to MCG. Stopped at Apollo Bay on the way to watch the WACA test and was the only pom for 5 days. It was...

What was today's highlight so far? Swann being replaced by Root for being hit for too many sixes by Watson, Anderson, with the new ball, being hit for 2 consecutive sixes over his head, Bell dropping a catch and not finding the ball only for Watson to be run out by Bresnan? In 43 years of...

I love those figures. They are mathematical poetry.

How can you blame, Ashley? The finger has to point at Barber.

the master plan is evident. Get out quickly on Day 3. Let Australia smash a number of runs. Get Clarke in and tempt him with a century tomorrow. He then bats till tea. We then only need 600+ to win or 4 sessions to bat for a draw. That's why Prior missed the two stumpings. The ICC must rue...

I think I saw him. Had a little sort of Trilby hat on?

:lol: I am looking forward to Broad smashing a century. I have him as top English scorer at 50-1.

Very true. However, when away choice a 5 day pitch can be prepared and when home choice the pitch can be prepared to go on Day 4.

So will I. In fact I take it that your hosts are Aussies. They dreamed up the first scenario and Aussies are getting everything right at the moment (unless you want a same sex wedding) SO It WILL HAPPEN........

The home team would be able to prepare all pitches after the first Test knowing whether they were batting first or second.

There are runs and wickets in this pitch. Should be fun. Just remembered Cook's century here in 2006. Another one tomorrow?
