When's the last time Australia lost by an innings?
 
Faintest of markings showed up on hotspot.

And Shane Warne pointed out the slightest of deviations in frame by frame footage.
 
Anyways not as if it was Ponting given out, Harris will probably come out and grab a ten fer :inti

LOL at the big applause. Is it being played in Australia or England? lol

It's called the Barmy Army. Boozed up Poms on holiday will always outsing Ozzies, particularly if we are losing.
 
Doherty CAN bat though. New ball might be a bit too much though.

Warnie's a bit off chops now :)))
 
This isnt pak where all hope is lost. Perhaps australia will recover in second innings

Kinda pointless to be honest. That's a TINY dot and I'm sure Warney had to spend 10 minutes trying to spot it. You can't expect someone to spend 10 mins trying to check for such a miniscule spot.

Doherty needs to score his maiden Test ton. He is 94 runs away from it at the moment

Yep. I didn't see it first two times either. I saw it on last replay though.
 
The Incredible Jimmy will probably blow the tail away with the new ball if they take it
 
LOL another runout that was shambolic running from Doherty. Why hesitate when you're called through?

Siddle now needs to score his maiden Test ton. He is 100 away from it at the moment. Or will be, once he arrives at the crease.
 
Majority of dismissals have been total brainfarts
 
Pakistani-esque running today to be honest. Simon 'Salman' Katich and Xavier 'Danish' Doherty.

Lol Healy interviewing Watto, sounds like its a funeral.
 
Twatto being interviewed, taking the blame for Krapich getting runout. So I guess Krapich isn't as deaf as I thought he was.
 
Sid should give it a tonk. I rmemeber he good a good 38 or something in the last Ashes.
 
Siddle needs 99 more for his maiden Test ton which we desperately need
 
Seriously, is it time for Jimmy to do a swab and a urine test? He has been like having a new bowler this year.

Ponting got a very good delivery first up as did Clarke. Both could have been left however, Clarke's was a bit more of a brainfart as he clearly pushed at it. Hussey's was a good spinner's wicket. The rest have been shockers.
 
Cricinfo reporting that man-boy-child Broad is still struggling with blisters. Diddums.

Just enjoying this - it's usually England who win the toss on a flat pitch and brainfart their way to a low score.
 
Marcus north wicket was the worst. right after hussey talks to him, he hoes out and plays a stupid shot

so we have taken 8 Aussie wickets with a 3 man bowling attack today, effectively :23:
 
Not counting my chickens in this series or even this match at all. Seen too much in my time :P But not gonna lie, this is entertaining
 
Siddle scores 2 more runs! He only needs 97 more
 
Hilfenhaus is a similar bowler to Anderson, probably would have done well here, and he's sat in the stands :)

Aussies look like they are at someone's funeral. Depressing stuff

Well they should. Like I mentioned above, after Anderson's spell the other wickets that have fallen have been shambolic. Ponting should give them a good spray in the sheds after this match and tell them to have a good look at themselves in the mirror. Runouts in particular CANNOT happen, particularly like they happened today.

BUT tomorrow is another day. They need to regroup, get over it, and figure out how they're going to take 10 wickets tomorrow without giving England too big a lead.
 
:six for Haddin. He's going to go down fighting.
 
Wicket looks very flat, the new ball just needs to be negotiated. 400-450 looks par.
 
I think England scored 270/3 on the first day of Adelaide 06.

Yep we're about 200 below par given that the only decent Pom bowler has really been Anderson and to a lesser extent Swann.
 
Bye bye Peydah!

Jimmy is a gun.

We should save the Rug for the last over. Don't want to bat tonight.
 
Why has everyone been talking about Swann as a spent force? He's bowled well today.
