Would be a record second innings score to beat Australia.

On the plus side, records are there to be broken.

On the down side, there's a reason records aren't broken very often!


oooh that creosote will ruin your trousers not to mention the risk of splinters...

get off the fence man...will we or wont we ??

If we can nick this or even take a draw from it the Aussie's and their press wont be too chuffed.....all about a 5-0 home whitewash last week from their end.

I think our chances are pretty miniscule - perhaps one in ten or thereabouts, as I mentioned earlier in the thread. Would be very nice to put one over on the Aussies but I don't think we'll get too close. My prediction is we'll be all out with more than 50 to knock off.

Complete guess, but there you go.

Good call...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

2 wickets down inside 3 overs, glad I didn't bother getting up for that!

If there is one thing the England team are good at, it's a batting collapse. We have that down to a fine art.

5-0 now for sure and that's 7 straight defeats in Oz.

Should've been looking at 500 which would've probably ruled out the 5-0, and given the scoreboard pressure, maybe given us a shot at a win. But it wouldn't be England without killing momentum by losing a load of wickets for sod all runs! If they could have a similar collapse that'd be grand but Smith will probably still be in when I get up!

Yep, as i already pointed out, there's always a batting collapse in the offing with England. Mentally weak.

To badly misquote Crocodile Dundee/The Simpsons: “you call that a batting collapse?”

138 all out is bad but not as bad as 6 wickets for 35 runs.

You trying to bring your footballing predictions skills to non footy?

He could probably keep batting until Sunday morning against these bowlers. Pathetic and oh so predictable.

Yeah I was just about to post that he could bat for as long as he wants.
