Correct Bozza, and that was SHIT from Prior.

You can see England being dismissed for around 450 and the Aussies making over 600 in a drab draw. Luckily for us, there won't be time for an anxious last day of England second innings wickets being thrown away.

Wobble confirmed, I'd take 400 now when this could have been 550 +:annoyed::annoyed:

Assume that was a typo and you meant 350.

If so - agreed.

333 on day one isn't rubbish, all out for 180 is rubbish.

Judging by cricinfos commentary the aussies are playing better this afternoon than this morning and the old ball is moving around a bit
Considering the belter of a track, and the 196 runs before we lost a wicket, it's f***ing shite. :nono: :angry:

If the roles were reversed and the Aussies were 340-6 I'd feel it wasn't the best start but still game on.

As has been mentioned above, a bit of moisture in the air, some cloud cover and we might be in business later in the match.

Thank God for Strauss.

364-6 at the close and Strauss still there.

Given the rain forecast you'd have to say that's England's day.

I'm mildly concerned - after our loss at Cardiff, we needed to bowl better, all out for 180 would have been the appropriate result today..

Bopara really is wank. I said it last week, but nothing's changed. He hasn't got the technique, temperament or intelligence to play test cricket against good sides. As soon as we lose a wicket we're basically two down. He's got to go, and soon.

How many times has he played against the top teams in the world?

f***ing bullshit from you as per usual. :tosser:

Bopara deserved to start but England are right to hold Bell in reserve because he is unproven and you have to minimise the risks.
