The Ashes 2010

[Memphis]

A wag from the Aussie tail but all out for 260 odd is a good effort.

29 for no loss in return. As they say its all about winning sessions. We won them all by the looks of things.

268 should be beatable on this pitch, but lets not count our chickens just yet.
This is England after all.

A good days work. I would take that score at the start of play, if we can hold it together tomorrow we will be looking strong.

I totally agree with Superheavyrhun, aside from Hussey the top order have been really struggling to hold it together.

As long as Strauss starts producing some good performances as well, as he has been a little shaky, then we should be in a good position tomorrow.

This is much more like the England we know and detest, one wicket drops and then everyone starts getting panicky, and that one wicket then becomes a full on collapse. Seem to have stabilised a bit now, but the middle and the tail have their work cut out getting us even withing range of the Australian first innings score.

I've missed all of this because of bloody Wikileaks. Thanks Bilbo!

Jeez, 5 wickets down and a collapse. Seem to be holding on a bit now, but still a long way behind. Darn.

[Gandalf]

And now six down, Prior gone.

England are in big trouble here. Let's hope the bottom order can dig in like the Aussies did.
