4 slips needed for Lyon

I thought it was only Indian batsmen who would chase Johnson's wide outswingers...

That is the annoying thing. On first viewing it looked there to hit but on the replay it was a good ball as it dragged the batsman to play at a ball that shaped just enough away to take the outside half of the bat.

Same. I wish I'd ****ing stayed asleep.

Oz sniffing the follow on here, a Broad/Swann special or only chance of staying in the match

It's as if the players sense me watching and decide to get out. Watched up until the afternoon drinks break yesterday then the last half hour, and the last 20 minutes today, and I've seen 11 of the 17 wickers that have fallen.
