TMS not allowed,
Cricinfo stuttering with confusion as the wickets go up quicker than if England bat

is it now 86/6?

Vincent Hefter: All this talk of Bell batting at three was obviously premature. It'll probably be 3:45.

Soob, as Warne has just said,

"What are the odds on Australia batting again tonight and having a lead?"

I think Swann has done a good job of going some way to prove KP's claims of bullying correct with that radio interview. Personally I found KP's on Clive Rice a bit more listenable...

Weird toss decision by the Aussies - presumably they thought the top order could see off the England attack all day even in favourable conditions for seam bowling, then rack up a massive total when the sun comes out tomorrow?

Now it looks like, unless England self-destruct in the last session, they will have the good weather to help them build a total.

KISS OF DEATH.
Has been amusing to follow the cricket on the aussie bike forum though.

Nooo...I mentioned the self-destruct potential. True kiss of death would be to just predict the massive total...

I'm just not taking responsibility for any collapse. 🙂

WICKET
Cook c Voges b Lyon 34 (Eng 76-2)
Posted at 17:35
Extraordinary. You will never, ever see a wicket quite like this. Adam Voges has somehow caught Alastair Cook without knowing where the ball is. The off-spin of Nathan Lyon for the first time, short, Cook hammering a full-bloodied pull shot. Voges ducks, but the ball goes straight at him, basically lodging in his belly. That's a one in a million type of dismissal.

Need a good knock from Ali and Broad. Boycott's advice is golden in these situations. Protect your wicket!

This is going to be very interesting - an early wicket or two and it's all over, if they get in and stay in and frustrate us then anything could happen.
