Yes
So, it all kicks off tomorrow, with our best chance of a win down under in 2 decades.

I think we can do it, we have a good experienced squad, with some fresh blood to give the tour a bit of energy.

Who is staying up late to take it in?
 
Yes a win for England! Not sure what times it os on but I am often about in the small hours.

Play for the first test starts at midnight each night UK time. I shall be ensconced on the sofa tonight for the morning session at least.

I can function on no sleep for a couple of days so, if things really go well for us, I intend on watching all of the first test :nuts::cuckoo:
 
Here we go!! Batting first, nice.

Its ok, we are just lulling them into a false sense of security......
 
Yeah, we want them to be really secure, 2 decades worth of secure, then we rip it all out from them................and give that Ponting chap something to shove where the sun does not shine.
 
Trot doing the lulling now, allowing KP a chance....
 
I will give an exact quote from the news/weather lady on BBC R2 at the start of the Janice Long show last night discussing the cricket.

"I couldn't give a toss"




But is it not the strongest England and weakest Aussie team in about 50 years, so the chaps at work said.
 
A full report on Siddle's hat-trick can be found at www.over.
 
Well at least we got Ponting out for 10, which is always nice.
 
Took our foot off the gas last night, which was disappointing.

REALLY need some quick wickets in this morning's session though - I need some sleep! :help:
 
Looking like a draw, but fantastic to see 2 centuries and a fifty in a days play, proving we can bat for over a day.

And the aussies can't catch either!!

good day at last!!!
 
Could be a quick innings at this rate.
 
Yep - a decent start............
 
That is a better days play!!
 
Strauss you Muppet!
 
Hahahah! no idea Yv!!

Nice work by Cookie and KP! 317 for 2 just what the doctor ordered!! SHame we don't have any more players with snacks in their name.....
 
Looking good

409-3 and great to see KP hit some form.
 
KP hit 150! Ponters doesn't know what to do anymore!!
 
it'll give em Bellie ache too................
 
KP 213 not out

Eng - 306 ahead at 551-4

Lets just hope the weather holds and Strauss declares with time to rip through them.
 
Well there's the declaration, Bell and Prior looked like they could have carried on knocking the bowlers all over the ground for hours, but time to give Jimmy, Swanny, Big Stu and Mr Finn some excersize.

620-5 is apparently the highest score for England against Aus since 1938! :love:

Its going to be long night.... :naughty:
 
Could do with a wicket.....
 
Fingers crossed that rain stays away.
 
Looking good

Anderson on a hat-trick.......
