    If we don't see a wicket this session then I'd be inclined to agree with the Soupy Aussie.
    Good value watching him bat though! He reminds me of Tuffers...though he has yet to walk out to the middle without a bat!

        600+, declaration at the back of 5 please.

        Let the English openers come in for the last hour and see them crap their pants.

          Sounds about right.
          Weather might take this one out though so an early declare and skittle England if they want a win.

            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.

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

              That's the thing about these Aussies, they're HARD, but FAIR.

                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.

                  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.

                  If I were the Aussie captain I would tell the boys to have a lash.

                    The Aussie captain is in the middle, so he can do it himself when he's ready...
