Fuck me Sean, the bowling figures are quite good, no one's given away more than 4 an over (on average for their bowling spells.)

Indeed. The Aussie run rate is well below England's which gives me hope for day 5 when they are back in batting on a poor wicket.

Now. Hussey's wicket please and they'll go over like nine-pins!

Rain stopped play, how disapointing is that!

Just when we were doing ok. (But needed another wicket to really get on top of them.)

143-5

This is getting very interesting...
There's something seriously wrong with a "sport" where a score of 143-5 makes for an "interesting" competition.
This could be PlanB's MOTU... :D
That may very well be the case...

Sentences like this:

Make about as much sense as many of Steve's posts.... :mrgreen:

LMAO - You love it really LJ...

*pssst* 143-5 doesn't mean that one team has scored 143 and the other 5, it means that Australia have scored 143 runs and lost 5 wickets.

And play has resumed on day three with the Aussies, ever so slightly, having the advantage.

War of nerves now, the Aussies are slowly edging towards the England total, but cannot afford to lose a wicket or two.

5-247.

It's really not helping that I've got a four year old here who has just started chanting, "Aussie Aussie Aussie, oy oy oy!" :shrug

But I'd take the draw now...

At least you keep it confined to a single thread.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

So far :)

Looks like "Mr Cricket" is aiming to score the same as teh England squad. Bastard.

Him and Hussey have already beaten the English total between the pair of them...

Late breakthrough with both the big scorers going,

Hussey 195 Hadin 136

Too little too late?

At least England survived the end of the day without losing a wicket.

Still batting for a draw though I'm afraid...

How is it that these clowns keep losing wickets?

Why don't they just appoint one team member to keep an eye on their wickets, so they don't lose them?

Sheesh.... :roll:
