England to bat first. Time to fire up Sky Player.

oh dear.

And what are England's chances of winning?

I rather think it isn't a case of winning - I think both bowling attacks are too poor to actually win a test match. It's more of a case of which side can contrive to lose...and England have to be favourites on that front.

If both sides bat as they should, it will be a very boring draw.

My money is on England making fools of themselves again though....

I hope you're wrong, but suspect you're right.

What is the score? Any more wickets?

 

[Jet Setter]

Just got back from the pub. Aussies bowling a couple of good balls an over but always bowling one 4 ball per over. Strauss looks in good nick. Bell has no idea against Johnson. The pitch looks like an absolute peach.
