The Ashes

[minestrone]

Had a few swipes but he looks like a man on a mission out there.

At this rate England might find themselves 100 odd down by the end of play on the first day.

Warne just said punter is "a man on a mission".

I'm in the wrong job.

Watson can't break through to his test ton.

Still good to have 3 50s on the spin.

[Chutney Spoon]

Ponting LBW 140 for 3.

Been out since the match started, but caught sight of the Aussie score of 77-1 while passing a Sony Centre late this afternoon. I thought that sounded like a low run rate for the first innings, at which point the salesman pointed out that England had already batted and were 102 all out

Hussey gone!

That will be ok if there's 5/6 wickets down...

Clarke is the man of the Ashes. England are misfiring again today.

Australia have won this one unless we get some divine intervention.

I need to watch more cricket - each time I have something else to do England seem to collapse.

It's a one test series now. Aus have to be favourites.

England have to make some changes and rely on the Oval crowd to give them that extra push

If the England selectors have any bollocks they'll bring in Sidebottam and Key and drop Bopara and Harmison.

They surely can't stick with the current team.

Braod and Swann are putting the rest of the England team to shame
