Yes.

Shortly before the end of the day, I would've said "no" as it was likely to head towards a boring draw, but now that 2 wickets have fallen, it's entirely unrealistic to expect that England would come back from here.

Yes - Let's hope the rain stays away - England don't deserve to get away with such a putrid bowling perfomance

Rigthtio. If you recall I asked:

Will Australia win the first test?

& of course they couldn't. Mere suggestion was daft, frankly, but quite a few went for it all the same. :ph34r:

So the 14 of us who know our cricket (:ph34r:) move onto Lords. A quick check of the records tells me that over the last 4 series 21 wickets have fallen in total on the first day of second Ashes tests, an average of slightly over 5. So The question is this:

Will 6 or more wickets fall on day one of the second test?

Just to clarify, if 6 fall it's a "yes".

With the state of Lords of late I'm gonna say no.
