thank you.

yes that was sarcasm in case you were wondering.

Just because England are doing rubbish you don't need to take it out on other posters
 
Haddin showing worth of Wkt keepers who can contribute with the bat, 50 well played

and that is the name of the game! that's what's required in Test cricket...they are surviving a hostile spell of bowling! says a lot about their mental strength doesn't it? this is a match winning partnership in the making!

take notes I say for all youngsters!

England in huge huge trouble

100 run lead is looking all set
 
Swann on for Finn please. Finn just can't hold his own for more than 4 overs, seen it yesterday and today, bowls 3-4 quality overs and then blows it. fair enough he will learn, but Strauss needs to accept this too.

possibly the most undeserving hundred partnership in the history of the universe

Take it on the chin ol son, I thought there would be polite applause from the english on such a fine hundred partnership.
 
Broad to Haddin - Confidently defended to mid on

Geez Haddin is looking good now
 
Again solid defense

Haddin middling everything now
 
the Sky commentators are saying the word 'cracks' way too much
 
Oh ok, back to normal with luck on Australia's side

Nearly played on

no mate, it was L-U-C-K

mental fortitude had nothing to do with it.

they do deserve applause for the counterattack they're doing now though.
 
if Graeme blows it then we could really fall behind. come on the Swann
 
:four

Hussey dances down and lofts Swanny over mid off, lovely shot.
 
Oooh, Hussey danced down looking for the big hit again

Adjusted in time
 
England need to relax, they seem too panicky.

the lead is 13 FFS not 130!

pitch is playing well too, no real alarms for the batsmen.

Broad and Anderson bowling well, Finn releasing all the pressure from the other end. This is what I've been saying for months since the Pakistan-England series.Finn is a rubbish bowler and he won't stand a chance against the Aussies.
 
Broad :yawn:

back of a length crap that may keep the score down, but will never get a wicket.
 
Oooh, just to the right of short cover and just short of mid off
 
bit harsh on Finn there, he bowled well yesterday and took 2 big wickets. I've seen worse
 
Nicholas: Haddins innings is a lesson for everybody
 
and that's the 100 for Hussey!!!

outstanding knock, his best by far IMO.
 
The elation and emotions on his face brought a smile to my face and I'm sure even on many poms :)
 
Hussey almost had tears in his eyes

What a sight on the field of cricket, shows how much it means to him
 
Ian Healy: First little nail in the English coffin

25 runs lead already

England in huge trouble now

They're 5-25, not 5-150, calm down. England can bat and this pitch is notorious for getting better as the Test goes on, not worse.
