Could certainly see that coming! Jones bowling rather magnificently.
Heh, I seem to recall Marc saying that Jones would be the key to this series. How right he was. :)

Congrats on 5000 posts, btw. :)

Hehe thanks.

Tait for a debut century here? I mean... the last Australian debutant did it!

I wouldn't enforce if I was Vaughan. If Australia get it together and make 400, that would be a problem.

There's going to be most of 3 days remaining. Bat for a day, beat Australia into submission and then bowl for the Ashes.
Wow, you're conservative!

The way they are bowling, I wouldn't have much hesitation in enforcing the follow-on. There's a good chance it'd all be over by tomorrow, and there's some work on Australia's confidence to be done as preparation for the next test. Vaughan should show no fear.

Some nice hitting here from Lee. :)

I remember saying before this series that Australia had the advantage with tail batting, with the addition of Brett Lee. :D

Amazing shot.

Must be a Welsh thing.... LOL

I'd love to know what that head-slapping of Jones' is about, too.
It actually is, kinda. It's a homage to Gareth Thomas (Welsh Rugby Union skipper) who celebrates every try by doing that two-hands slapping top of head thing.

Dunno why Thomas does it, mind. :D

Huge Dorothy from Lee as I type. Harmy won't have enjoyed that!

My son does it too. Although the reason he does it is because he's 18 months old.... :p
