If I were Clarke, I wouldn't make the English follow on anyway. The bowlers have done a shed load of work. Depending if we can get the 3 required quickly enough I'd be batting like blazers for a session and a half and having a go after that to give the bowlers a bit of a breather. Get Davey Warner to blaze a ton in a session to give the English half a chance of winning and open the game up.....
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Forecast is for heavy rain tomorrow, no idea why they took them off for bad light,is it not the batting teams decision anymore?
Looks like the weather is against us, lets face it everything so far has gone against us,
We lost our MOJO simple as that, can bat ,can bowl wtf
No. Apparently the umpires can now make the decision in the interests of player safety without consulting the batting team. Ridiculous.Quote:

That is just bloody stupid then, If the batting side are happy to carry on, they should be allowed to.
once again the powers that be have stuffed things up with more rules. same goes for our football AFL
way too many rules IMO, was going alright for 100 odd years, and don't start me on twenty/20.
I live 10 miles north of Manchester, be amazed if there is any play today.
Not the ideal way to retain the ashes.
Trott and Cook back in the pavilion. The two key wickets IMO.
Gotta get Bell in early.....
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Peterson gone as well, maybe,looking good for you guys.
Hmmm. Could be a nail biter.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
It has rained non stop where I live, still amazed they started today, but could be a close call at the end of the day.
Bloody pommy weather.
And If Bell calls for a physiotherapist again he may also need a proctologist to extract a cricket bat.
Need a miracle now.......too much time lost.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Not an ideal way to retain the Ashes, you guys would have won that one i`m sure.
But such is life,tough luck.
Hmmmm. Quite disappointed. Now need to square up this series and fire up for the return one!
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
as i have said all along ( bloody pommy cheats ) cant help themselves ya bloody sth african import caught putting illegal tape down the side of his bat to hide hot spot. not only did he survive a decision it cost us a review which also cost us why cant bloody pommies just play cricket, they just have to cheat every series, how many more of your batsman are cheating, cause ill bet he is not the only one. how about just playing to the best of your ability, thats the thing they aint got none. kev
All I read is blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahQuote:

Better effort by our Bowlers but not sure if that is due to England having retained the Ashes and not as focused.
Pressure is off now
we may end up winning any remaining tests, we'll see
@ 07 we used tape too, as well as little Timmy down the road
Its what you use on the modern bats with those huge edges
A solid, disciplined team bowling performance. Now a disciplined team batting performance is required. Lets see if our top order has in fact turned the corner on a tricky, slowish wicket.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
ah not so.Quote:

Depends on how your batters shape up now.
it might be a bowlers wicket more than a batters by the look of it we lost warner cheaply
Maybe 238 was not such a bad score.
i think it might be
especially the way its looking, either that or bad player decisions are the factor in this game
Prediction. Aussies all out for 122.
I hope not, bad decisions have marred this series enough.Quote:

Well done "Bucky" Rodgers! Maiden test hunge......
He should have been playing test cricket years ago.
Not pretty but very effective in the Simon Katich mould.
Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
Glad this didn't come trueQuote:

What a piss poor finish hay..
It'll probably stay there fir a fair few years. No depth, no commitment, no pride, no passion.
Servear lack of skillQuote:
