Flying start for Langer, pressure immediately off

FFS. Another 4 off Harmison.

It was a thick edge

 

[pasag]

Langer going psycho

 

[Nate]

Up Alfie. Harmison bowling too short for the `GABBA.

 

[chalky]

a 3rd man needed for Harmison?

 

[Langeveldt]

17 seconds for Blofeld to make his first commentary mistake

 

[Scaly piscine]

Should *always* have a third man for Harmison.

 

[Nate]

Beautiful drive from Hayden. Wasn`t quite a half-volley, and past the short mid-off.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hmm. Lovely straight drive from Hayden to get off the mark. Any positive vibes I had rapidly dissipating.

So the question for England fans, without wanting to sound negative, when is it acceptable to go to bed sulking?

As soon as Harmison's taken out of the attack?

Hang on....

 

[superkingdave]

Jimmy comes on for wayward

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great start from Jimmy. Sat up & asked to be put away.

 

[silentstriker]

Over under on Giles making an appearance: 30 mins

 

[pasag]

Langer playing like its still the Ford Ranger Cup. Gun.
