Nice to see both teams smiling. Esp. England batsmen.

If you combine the pitch and our spinning options you would rather be them than us, but this is set up perfectly.

Going tomorrow. Could do with nicking 2 or 3 out this evening to make it interesting

I can see the convicts getting these for no more than a couple of wickets.

I think the person who defended them having the brass neck to sit in the stands will unnerve them come tomorrow.

Getting the phone number to the Australian dressing room was surprisingly easy. I just had to pretend I worked for Harris as the head of their abrasive paper sales team. Then I got them onto this forum which took a bit of explaining. At first they were reluctant to oblige with giving up three wickets, but then I explained that you were a member of the admin team and they sat up and started listening.

That is a bigger sentence than their forefathers received.

The hype surrounding this particular series is nauseating. Licence to print money betting against this moderate Australian outfit; Smith long gone.
Roll on Royal Ascot. Get a bit more.

It would have been nice to hear about an "expectant crowd in shirt sleeve order" from Peter West. Instead of which Isa Guha et al Come Dancing.

Closely followed by an overhyped Wimbledon, Mrs Observer will by quiet for a fortnight no doubt. Boris long gone (down)

Cricket has just moved on. Which is the most obvious thing you could ever type on here, but if you had day 1 back in the olden days it would have finished with 227 runs. Whether that was with four down or eight down it wouldn't have been anything more than a snails pace.
15 runs in an hour not unheard of.
It definitely isn't like that anymore.

The odds on the draw (7/1) seem quite high seeing as there is a lot of cricket to fit in given the weather forecast.

Now if you could sort a bit of rain in the morning and an overcast swinging atmosphere (calm down MT) until early afternoon, with it all done and dusted under blue skies by tea, that would be splendid. TIA

TIA I think you might be on. The rain blows through, hence the draw odds. You might lose the first session but plenty of time after that. Like you say, after that we want skies filthier than the inside of MT's green wheelie bin. Not Sky Blue like his heart. If the sky is anything like it was during that destructive short session on Sunday you are sorted. Everything we saw up to that looked straightforward to bat in, every ball in that little session was an event. If they had somehow stayed out another hour we would have already lost this game.
