Wow...what a delivery by warnah...awesome...majical..brilliant..fantastic...special..MIRACULOUS! u name it... :27:

anyway... the poms and there fans like rh, migsy etc may as well enjoy as much as they can as this is the best position they will be in the match...cause Warnah and co will bowl england out for less that 150 and then roar to victory...u c... Aussies will still win as they are just too good for the poms ;-)

btw, i am probably the only person who still thinks the aussies are on top apart from the aussies themselves ;-)

Nope Fess...I am tipping Aussies to Win!
 
As far as I am aware Warne is still only allowed to bowl from one end!

Their 'pace' attack are going to get walloped around the park from the other end, there's no doubt Warne is a class act, if England play him with the care and respect he deserves, there is no reason why we shouldn't be 350 plus in front after our 2nd innings.

GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE IN ENGLAND ARE BEHIND THE NATIONAL TEAM.
 
I'm very nervous now.. but what Foo Fighter said is true. Warne can only bowl from one end and Australia's fast bowlers didn't seem to be bowling well at all last night. Dizzy looked slow and tired whilst Lee sent down a few scatter gun efforts! It should still be a close match though.

Imagine how entertaining the series it would be if England win the back to back tests and are 2-1 up going into the fourth test to face a newly returned and fired up McGrath. I bet it'd make great cricket..
 
Well Foo Fighter - I now revise my predictions and hand over victory to England. Long Live the Queen and that Charles Chap !

However, with a class act as Australia, I wouldnt discount a final run chase to win the match - but lets see what transpires today shall we ?
 
C'mon t'Hoggster!

Hit im fa' six lad.

9.3 Lee to Hoggard, no run, fullish and outside the off, just a hint of
swing in to Hoggard, prod played and missed

Stunning.
 
Eng 31/4 Brett Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Quote from Cricinfo :
Warne to Bell, this should be fun. Unless you're Ian Bell, ofcourse!
:))) :))) :)))
 
Tresco's dismissal was silly but I suppose he has made 115 odd in total in the match. Strauss played a bad shot yesterday but to be honest I don't think he could have done too much about the Warne ball.

Now Vaughan.

MP Vaughan.

Bowled on 1 by Lee? That's very very poor.
 
Eng 47/4 (lead 146)

game very much back on......
 
Was the Pietersen decision correct by the way? I haven't seen any replays or anything.
 
bell gone aswell....

75/6

aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi
 
i never saw pieterson dismissal but he shudve been out on 0 anyway

agree. Don't know why Pieterson was walking off shaking his head. The [Edit by Mods: Watch the abuse Hash - thanks] should count himself lucky that he was able to score 21 runs. He was clearly out first ball.

Also have to say that Rudi is one of the worst umpires in the elite panel. Billy Bowden isn't much better either.

Channel 4 scheduled to show horse racing until 3.30 pm!!:12: :12: :12:

WHAT IS GOING ON?

When they do things like this they cannot complain about losing rights to Sky.
 
jones gone yessssssssss

eng 101/7 (200 lead)
 
There seems to a bit of uneven bounce in the pitch today. Not much, but enough to interest Harmison, and if fit, Flintoff - i.e. the two tall bowlers.

Flintoff is actually an important bowler because he can exploit uneven bounce but he can also get reverse swing and the conditions seem favourable for that type of swing.
 
I cannot see Flintoff bowling...his shoulder seems to be hanging out of its socket!
 
It might be small comfort, but the one thing in his favour is that it is his left shoulder that seems to be hurt - the non-bowling arm. That's not great, but it is better than the bowling arm being damaged.

ye got that right brother ;-)
 
england are slowly eeking out runs here and totals getting up to 250 mark...! if england get to 270 lead il back them 2 win this test.
 
He played a cut shot and injured his shoulder, it was pretty innocuous
 
warne takes his 4th wkt

dustbin gone....

eng 131/8 now......
 
flintoff hits some lusty blows... scores up to 150/9 now

50 for fred top knock....
 
I think if England win - it wont be buy 10 runs ! so the runs may be important, unless the lead crosses 300, I would still put money on the aussies to fight back and win
 
Poor batting today.. but Fred seems to have shown the Aussies what he can do anyway.

7 sixes in an Ashes test match!
 
Come on Fred! :mad: Give the King Of Spain something to bowl at
 
Yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


Come On Aussie!!!!
 
Final inns starts

target 282

hayden off mark with 4....
 
Guys still chance to vote for who will win in the thread below !
 
Aus 19/0 already... controlled agression needed here by australia...!
 
im sorry but the english batsmen do a disservice to the bowlers by playing this way.
disappointing stuff.
 
Not confident at all now, no demons at all in the pitch so far.
 
y are the commentators worshippin giles?

he only took 3 wickets..and all of a sudden hes the 'key' to the test match.....

english media at its worst, once again
 
Mate, Giles was England's best bowler by far in the first innings

1 answer to all three q's above....They really need at least something to get exited about...;-)
 
They're really trying to stop Giles getting into any sort of rhythm here

Well...that is the best way to neutralise any bowler... No rhythm...no settling down..
