That's the trouble with Aussie cricket fans, they never know when to shut up.

Fine innings from haddin, unfortunate for England that they had used all their referrals when he was caught plum on 80 odd. That would have been a game changer.

For now, England need to bat for at least 4 sessions to save the match. Something that isn't beyond them if they play like boycott all day, but I have to say I am not massively confident.

If the Aussies don't win this match it will be a terrible psychological blow.

Are there no England fans ready to put up an argument or a discussion on this topic?

What is wrong?

Have to say, not sure that England will be able to bat for at least the Lion's share of 2 days. How is the wicket holding up?

The trouble with Australia is that it is full of wide open spaces........................surrounded by teeth!!!

Well, they kept the Australians below 500 but I don't think that there are many that would argue that England stand much of a chance of batting out for nearly two days, which is what they will need to do for the draw.

I am sure that I once saw a video available for sale that celebrated Atherton managing to bat for two days to secure a draw in South Africa once. That's the English for you, a draw is something to celebrate.
