Hayden looking dodgy as usual here. He won't last long.

Just thinking how quality Warne is.
To have got the returns and figures he has, bowling mainly on days 1,2 & 3.
Just exceptional.

I thnk I just heard he was getting some bedrest (!!!), so doesn't sound likely he'll bat today, if needed....FaaipDeOiad said:
I agree, we're not out of this yet. Had England gone much over 500, I think we probably would have been, at least in terms of winning the match. Our batsmen are going to need to show far more discipline than they have so far though. In their favor, most of them seem to be striking the ball pretty well, the problems have been more related to a slight lack of respect for the English bowlers and forgetting at times the difference between one-dayers and test matches. 380 or above and we're still some kind of a chance.

I'm not disproven on the basis of the first one we see.marc71178 said:
It will happen soon, because the umpire's will try to even it up whereas they relish in giving Warne's plumb LBW's continuously not out due to personal grievences and jealousy.

Fingers crossed for Hayden here. He's starting to look a little better, and has got his defensive shot right. Seems willing to grind it out a bit, so maybe he'll make a score.

There we go. A good pull shot from Hayden. Things looking up, like they did in the second innings at Lords. Now, will he throw it away?

Well that pitched outside leg and was going over the top of the stumps.
Another let off for Australia. That sure evens it up.

Whatever it takes!!!
I was just remarking to my friend (a big English supporter) that Ponting was playing into England's hands by having defensive fields for both batters. I was especially puzzled by the deep cover, I think with all of Warnie's experience, he could have relied on him to NOT bowl too many long hops. But, he had a score of 70+ for the taking there, did Freddie and it was stupid of him to have thrown it away. But then again, had he connected properly and it had gone for 6, I wonder how many of us would have said the same thing.marc71178 said:

Wow what a catch Bell lad.

Great catch by Bell there. Langer's looked uncomfortable against Giles throughout this series for whatever reason, while none of the other batsmen have at all. He's not the best player of spin going around of course, and probably the poorest in the Australian team, but he usually handles it a bit better than that, and has scored a century against Murali in Sri Lanka and so on.
