Thought I may as well get this one started, even though I will miss the (critical) first session as I'm out to dinner.

I reckon the future of the series is up for grabs in this one session. Momentum is up for grabs. Can the Poms take the big wicket of Hussey and stop this nascent OZ revival in its tracks, or will Mr Cricket and Twatto build a big enough platform for the cowlashers down the order to bat out a huge score?
 
Timing for this test mean i cant even watch first couple of overs :(.
 
Excited. Hope hussey and watson can survive and go on to score centuries. Especially watson
 
I have a feeling a collapse is in order. England might just take the ashes tomorrow.
 
Big innings for Watto, so many 50s, can he finally convert? All Aus have to do is effectively bat out 2+ sessions, I don't think the pitch will flatten out too much that a 400+ chase will be likely.
 
australia should win this test. they are effectively 200-3. if they add 200 more runs today, that can be enough.
 
Aussie Should Bat Positively at least for next two sessions... if possible then 1hr in the 3rd session as well. Make at least 250 runs and then Go for the kill.. England will do well in the Second innings I think..

But Its Australia who is clear favorite to win the Test.. Hope I am not wrong this time. :)
 
Watson can only have 10 or so more runs in him and even if, by some miracle, he gets close or into the 90s, he'll bottle it. :amla
 
Ian Chappell's blunt assessment of Swann's spell is that "he's bowled a fair pile of rubbish".
Lol what?
 
Watson could go early now he's past 50. Steve Smith seems a waste of space. Usman Khawaji should have been selected.

Mr Cricket for 100 is my prediction tonight.

Steve Smith looked better bat than Khawaja in tour game. He has ability to take game out of England's reach.

Khawaja never got a start. Smith is nothing compared to Khawaja. If Smith isn't going to bowl much then a proper batsmen would have been a much better choice.

At least Haddin should come in at 6.

If one of these 2 go early then yeah haddin should come in next. Otherwise bring in Smith and take the game away from poms.

Yep needs a platform and instead of coming in under pressure.

Jimmy right on the mark so far.
 
Nice eraly lines and movement from the bowlers. First hour here critical. SOmeone needs to make a big ton.
 
Umpire Marais Erasmus was a fast medium bowler, played for Boland and his best figures are 6-22 in case anyone was wandering.

Aussies slowly moving now.
 
warne was saying that sweat band is part of the glove, lol sounded silly to begin with. And its now confirmed that it isnt
