Thought Harmison wasn't playing tbh.

Big test for Fred as he's played bugger all cricket and according to Bumble was not bowling at any great pace for Lancs

 

[morgieb]

Brilliant batting Australia! 1/290, with Ponting & Katich set. About bloody time our batting comes good.

 

[Craig]

This must be quite frustrating for an England fan. The bowlers have bowled some good balls, but then they have bowled a lot of crap in between.

Why the hell would you sledge Ponting atm?

Better off hoping he gets bored and lazy than sparking his interest even further

 

[Burgey]

LMAO @ Anderson giving Ponting a spray at 1-near 300 and he's 120 n.o.

Wadda douche. 23 hours late in firing up mate.

 

[Craig]

Why doesn't Strauss not have a 3rd man?

 

[TT Boy]

Not the best to give Punter verbals when he is 120 odd N/O and you are wicketless and have bowled ****.

Plus failing to swing it

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Love Katich. Just wears it.

 

[Jakester1288]

Katich handled that short ball from Flintoff great. Love the Katman.

It's looking crap for the English, isn't it. Given the weather forecast, likeliest scenario is Ponting declaring at 550 half an hour from the close today imo.

Katich & Ponting really have provided an education for Cook & KP respectively. Doubt whether they're bright enough to notice though.

EDIT
About bloody time. Well bowled Anderson and very well batted Katich

 

[Craig]

Katich is gone.

 

[wfdu_ben91]

Where is the consistency Doctrove? FFS...

Plumb but.

 

[King Pietersen]

Finally. Nice inswinger from Anderson, he's finally got the ball to swing, and Doctrove finally lifts his finger. Need to take 8 for 10 now please England =]

Ben, tbf there was doubt for most of the decisions, either pitching outside or a double noise. That was just plumb.

 

[superkingdave]

Jimmy!!

 

[Jakester1288]

Kat gone. Keen to see how Hussey goes.

 

[inbox24]

Damn it.

 

[Adamc]

Hmm, pretty plumb. Oh well, good knock.

Hopefully Hussey can carry over his form from the tour matches.

Finally!!
