Vaughan! What a player!

Haydens drop, quite blatently wasnt expecting it at all, bet he wished he'd kept quiet at the start of this series saying England were nothing. Keep going boys! Odds for vaughan double ton?

To be fair to Vaughan, he's played very well in between the drops etc.

But Aus should be in a good position and only have themselves to Blame.

BTW, WTF is Gillespie still doing bowling?

Couple of wickets, and Aus are in it.

6 an over, an were further in the pooh.

Oh god, another drop.... Straight out of Hayden's breadbasket.

Very poor catching display today. Only one of them was really tough.
Don't worry -- if the match was being played by Richard's rules, the score would be really competitive...

Uh... The "cricket humor" thread is that way....

By this logic, you would never actually be considered unfit for international cricket until you flagrantly threw your wicket away. Being beaten is being beaten. At some point enough has to be enough.
Bell in the 2nd Test did nothing wrong, but because he got a cracking ball in the first innings and a very good ball (that is apperantly debateable if he hit or not) in the second.

That isn't a lack of form.

Try 14 in an over... :)

It'd be nice if Vaughan hit the double, but he hasn't done it yet. If he doesn't do it again, I bet Boycs will kick off completely. B)

To me, up to this point, he has looked clueless and ordinary. Your defence must be motivated by hope and your impassioned arguments that he shouldn't be overlooked by selecting both Thorpe and Pietersen at the outset of the series. Because it can't be explained by how he's looked at the crease thus far.

Plus, I think, marc is a diehard Warwickshire fan. :p
