Quoted from BIGChris
336-7 at stumps.

Even Stephens?


Yes agree chris,

I think 400 would be the min we want,

If we mange to keep clear of too much rain,

Our two spinners could TURN the match in our favour.

I would have taken it at 90-3 or or 241-5. That said they'd have taken it at 228-3 or 327-5.

I guess in a very long winded way I'm saying I agree it's pretty even   Good day of cricket with plenty of runs and wickets. Let's hope it continues.

You simply cannot call them convicts, it is so wrong.

Call them colonials instead, they hate it even more.


Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

I'd have taken winning the toss and getting 336 on before start of play.

I can't envisage that the Welsh would be capable of preparing a track to last 5 days.

Going to watch the highlights on Sky at 11. I remain convinced that Katherine Jenkins, despite all this hymn singing malarky, has a voracious sexual appetite and is absolutely Fieal-tie, as they would say in Limerick.

in the end probably a good move to put night watchman in, a good score in the end just see what we can do with the ball.

in the other test match today I think the Windies may struggle!!!

Anyone know where I can see an online scorecard?
The Beeb isn't doing one and the SkySports site makes my internet crash

Sky has taken the fun out of the Ashes for me mostly because I haven't got it. But I can never just sit in the pub five days straight for five tests to watch a match The Ashes should be put on the golden list the same as The World Cup, FA Cup, Six Nations, Olympics and other such precious events.
