And on another note, 400 posts in this thread today since the start of the game.

Woe betide anyone who wants to catch up on what's been said.

It was hard enough doing it after Australia's innings - 20 pages worth I had to file through.

thats right they would have to come in fresh, because i left and i just came back and another 10 pages have already gone

England getting good at these inside-edges...

 

[Demolition Man]

hahahha another lucky wicket to Kasper

 

[Barney Rubble]

You talking to me - and what's an 'oxy'?

I'm assuming that's another example of your sharp wit, eddie, not a simple matter of confusion.......

This looks like it could be a real tight game as Duckworth Lewis has the teams dead level.

I'd have England slightly in front at this stage - that's including the just-now dismissal of Collingwood by Kasprowicz (I had them comfortably in front before that).

australia really need a breakthrough soon if they want to stay in this. i just can't see watson providing that. i think the best way now that they're more settled is to just try and convince collingwood to hit out on one of the spinners (hogg or clarke) and have him caught in the deep

And there's the wicket before the 20th over. The Richmond boy almost seemed to guide it onto the stumps more than an inside edge. There's that Kasper off-cutter.

It's a massive period of the game now, going to be very interesting.

I've got Aussies favourites with that soft, soft Bangladesque dismissal of Collingwood.

Australia up by 13 on D/L.

Same here, especially as we bat down to 8 today.

Come on Freddie, step up to the plate mate.

Kasper gets collingwood that will do his confidence the world of good after a though first week

Here comes my man Flintoff what a cheer and loose yourself by M&M is playing

D/L means nothing when you Flintoff at the crease and KP to come.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Bangladesque

Best. Word. Ever.

 

[andyc]

bloody hell. i always speak to soon

 

[PY]

Best. Word. Ever.

Don't encourage him.

 

[Demolition Man]

Watson is fired up

Never a truer word spoken. Is ther forecast still for rain?

And what's with the fluro yellow ear guards on Flintoff? Interesting...

 

[Jono]

Watson talking it up to Flintoff.

Interesting...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Who was it mentioned Kasper's off-cutter? A pox on thy house, sir!!

I think this will now be a test of how far we've come as a team. The England of a couple of years ago would definitely start to get a bit chokey now. Let's hope Fred doesn't try to smash the leather off the ball first up.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Don't encourage him.

What's next?

"England are batting like a bunch of Pakistaniacs"?
