Good value watching him bat though! He reminds me of Tuffers...though he has yet to walk out to the middle without a bat!Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

Weather might take this one out though so an early declare and skittle England if they want a win.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Latest odds
England to win 8/1
Australia to win 21/10
Draw 8/15
Seems good odds on an England win? A few quick wickets this morning and it's a one innings flip of a coin match. Might have some of this.Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

Seeing as we're asking for things, 7 wickets before lunch please.

SKY are saying tomorrow looks buggered with the weather, think this is going to be a draw.
Now that they are both on their centuries I expect them to up the run rate after the first few overs, think it will be a decent morning of cricket. Just wish Gilchrist was still in the team.Comment

With the weather report as it is the Aussies are in the driving seat. They can have a proper go at spanking it all over the place. If they get a big enough score they can declare and use the remaining time to get England out. If they end up on the receiving end they can then use the second innings to settle for a draw.Originally posted by minestrone View PostSKY are saying tomorrow looks buggered with the weather, think this is going to be a draw.
