England win toss...................

[Forty-Niner]

Doug Insole once wrote that he believed very few players enjoyed Test cricket. It's fair to say all the Australian team enjoyed this morning.

Im assuming Max has been banned
He would be all over this thread right now

[EH16]

Fair enough, the Aussies have bowled really well but the batting has been abject.

[bobo66]

This is humiliating. Why can we not find a few batsmen who can stay in?

[Smendrick Feaselberg]

England win the toss and then proceed to toss the win.

[Disoriented]

Terrible. Conditions suited for batting, so no excuse for that abject display.

[tuffers#1]

Will be an interesting morning.
No Smith = No Australia

Simples.

Its a good Job he isnt playing then

[tuffers#1]

The chief selector is one.

[Max B Gold]

Excellent. Born Losers.

[Disoriented]

In Ben we trust.

Aussies looking wobbly with not a lot left to come. We should run through them here.

[Lovejoy]

England require 359 to win, a piece of cake with that batting line up.

[i8ubutler]

Hmmm...........
15 - 2

[RientO]

117-2 possible?

[BoniO]

117-2 possible?

Who said "Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man." cos I think it probably applies here.......

[Lovejoy]

England chipping away at the target.

[BoniO]

The Aussies are spoken to by the umpire for too much sledging. Are they getting a bit frustrated by us finally showing some grit?

We have em on toast here.

Hopefully this will be good for their mindset going forward. All the time in the world, just chug along, be patient. If we reach 250 tomorrow with 4 or 5 wickets left, the Aussies will start doubting themselves.

I would like to believe that but a pig has just flown past my window. Let us hope I am wrong.
