Kinda wishing Strauss to fail here. KP, Bell and Colly will make enough runs for the win anyway - and Shah ftw.

As long as they can pitch it up - especially with a bit of width - you'd still fancy them to knock over Strauss TBH.
The crowd looks pretty good, even some Fleming placards.
Wonder if John and Heath are down there again?
Superb shot from Cook, rare from him. Lucky to be there of course.

Shah would have been brilliant on the first pitch they played on. Slow and low would reallly have suited him.

Off to the cricket now. Delayed due to having something in my eye that I couldn't get out.
Look out for the Tasman Makos shirt today. Should make it easier for you to spot Heath. (The only reason I have a Tasman shirt is a very long winded In-Joke with the guys at work, that I won't explain)

Booked the seats on the picnic rug?
Be intersting to see how they do. I am not really a fan of them batting together but if they do well then will england revert to these two opening with vaughan at three? (Vaughan seems a better number 3 than strauss IMO)

I wouldn't imagine Strauss and Vaughan are going to be re-reversed any time soon. If they were going to take a stupid decision like batting Strauss three, they'd be unlikely to put it back to "as expected".
Hope I'll be surprised tho. Strauss at three is probably even more useless than Strauss opening. More worryingly, Vaughan opening is considerably less than Vaughan at three.
Gillespie on. Hattrick averted.
