    i think the weather will play a part, could either disrupt the batting or help the game to a draw.

      There will be far more in the way of sunshine on Monday with only a slim chance of an isolated light shower. Top temperature, 22C (72F).
      There's going to be a winner either way.

      I can't stand the tension and it hasn't even started yet....

        Looks a good day for bowling. Eng to win 9 times out of 10 from this position but there is just that little bit of doubt....

          220 for 5 is within reach.
          How many of the Aussies are capable of 50?
          I am not qualified to give the above advice!

          Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            Of those that are to bat I would have said on the 5th day of a test match only Johnson realistically.

              Agreed about Johnson. If the English manage to get a quick wicket I reckon it could be wrapped up either before or shortly after lunch.

              If these two bat the session, the back passages of England will be well and truly puckered!!

              As an Aussie it pains me to say that the umpiring decisions haven't put us in this spot, rather appalling bowling on the first day and shocking shot selection in the first innings. How do 5 blokes go out playing the hook?? Put the flipping shot away!!! England showed you just need to bowl in half decent areas and you can pick wickets up. Mitchell Johnson, I hope you were watching so you can lift your game in the next test.

                Agreed. How has Johnson gone from being so good in SA to so poor here.

                    That's the start we wanted

                    WICKET Haddin c Collingwood b Flintoff 80, Aus 313-6
                    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                    Comment


                      I think you'll find his name is Haddin.

                      The same bloke who I saw one commentator rate as well below Prior because of his 'modest batting average'.

                      He's gone alright so far. Maybe he could instruct some of his top order mates on how to make a run.
