Ashes 2nd Test

[Gandalf]

Damn Pieterson gone now. Crucial point this, need a decent partnership to try and push for a big score. No use having wickets falling every 20-30 runs until they are all out.

If we cant make 500+ on this wicket with an attack as bad as this we have no right to be competing to win this series.

Johnson is being horribly exposed in english conditions, siddle is extremely one dimensional and hauritz is just terrible. Only guy who looks decent is that hilfenhaus and he`s hardly a match winning bowler.

Still dont think we`ll win a test this summer as i genuinely dont believe the likes of broad, swann, anderson have 20wkts in them.

2-0 Australia

Yep, I can really see our bowlers having a nighmare against the Aussie batsmen. To bowl them twice will be a real task.

Damn, just as it looked like a partnership was forming. England will be kicking themselves if they implode now. Let's hope they can get some runs with no further losses. Strauss looking well set.

once again england doing their absoloute upmost to cock up a winning comanding position.

Collingwood just played the most ridiculous shot and ive no doubt now with an hour left what should be 370-3 odd will now end up with us around 360-7 putting australia right back into pole position

[Gandalf]

Yeah, could be. Really impressed with Strauss today, he's been a rock. The middle order always get themselves in and then they get out.

Jeez, Prior goes just as I speak!

[Memphis]

Oh dear

[Gandalf]

Oh dear

And it all looked so promising! Will be more than happy if we can get 500 now and that might be pushing things.

[Memphis]

Lets get to 400 first

[HattonTheHammer]

Lets get to 400 first

exactly any other country in the world and you would say 450 is par from here

But this is england we are talking about, only 10 overs left but we could quite easily be all out by the end of play with our history!!
