I'd like to see Tremlett replace Broady after seeing him in the warm up games. You got any thoughts on his replacement?

[prinnysquad]

England's batsmen want duffing up after the last two days of indiscretions. After that Aussie first innings score, it's criminal that they're going to win by about the same number of runs. Awful, awful shots all round, and very poor mental discipline and mettle. Collingwood must be clinging onto his place by his finger ends, appalling batting.

[ShadowDancer]

Glad I'm not suffering sleepless nights alone. Its been poor.

The pitch, as said by Gooch, has a bit for everyone, but requires graft and concentration. Bitterly dissapointed.

Agree with you Prinny.

[dazzling_bubble]

Tremlett hs bowled well must say.

[Neil]

Yeah he is getting a lot of bounce, he's a big lad.
If we can get Hussey out before he gets in we should be ok.

[ShadowDancer]

Yes, watching as always Great start, be good to get another before they get in

[ShadowDancer]

Get the fk in. Great Celebration. Beautiful. Beautiful.

[Neil]

Awesome! Hussey goes

[ShadowDancer]

Was a very big wicket Hope this continues after Lunch.

[ShadowDancer]

Amazing. I fell asleep when the start was delayed after lunch. Cant believe what has happened.

Even with one days play, we have set this up. This is an amazing chance to retain the ashes now. Cannot wait for tonight now.

98 All out. Wow. (And I bloody missed it!)
