He bowled Harris to long in the opening session and allowed England to cruise past the follow on.That bit of time and the runs gained were crucial.

Bad light stops play.

Aye,you would think at least one test in the series would be weather affected.

Are the contracts that start on 1st Sept safe from Charlie deciding there are too many on too much money and looking too get out of them?

Time is going to be the Aussie's enemy if they are to win this.

Century for KP, Clarke misse a chance to get him out on review.

KP goes to fifty with two big sixes. Bell with a big six now,they're not letting the spinner settle.

I don't think i've ever heard a batsmen getting the treatment Warner just got! It's just not cricket!! No reviews left and a batting line up that will need to be carried by Clarke,this just got interesting.

booooooooooo!! that'll be Warner then?

BBC1 11.10 tonight 'The Editors' has a piece on Test crowds dwindling worldwide against Twenty/20

True,i did the tour of Lords when a four day game was on and couldn't believe how empty the ground was.

Limited overs cricket seems to rule over there.It would be a big deal for an England player getting to 100 ODI's when over there 2-300 seems to be the norm,they seem to have a mini tournament every other week.

Caught a bit of the T20 game this afternoon and there seemed to be plenty seats empty at Trent Bridge and at Durham,has the bubble burst with this form of the game?

Getting Tremlett back playing will be a boost for the return series in Australia,imagine this batting line up facing him on hard bouncing wickets there will be carnage.

When i was a sometime player for Motherwell 2nds there were a few games where 'extras' was the top scorer.

The Aussies are feeling the backlash now of the rise of 20/20.There are to many ordinary batsmen who can go out swinging and make scores but ask them to get the head down and knock the shine of a ball and bat session to session and they are lost.The ECB get a lot of criticism for their stance on the IPL but they still have a successful test side who sell out grounds all summer.

Is that the Vicky we keep reading about?

Its available for a fiver on Amazon but you'll have to navigate away from here to have a look.

Look on the bright side,it'll give you a chance to get your post count up

First puncture of the year at 6am this morning on the way home from work.I picked a great day weatherwise!

This thread must be approaching a world record for the most posts ending in 'deal with it'

You surrendered?

There is only really about ten people on this thread care,the outside world is going about it's business not giving a damn.

The club will be asking for use of the Society’s overdraft facility in March. The money raised by the fans to help when our club needs it? that's what it's there for.
