    Sad to say I missed the first 2 days play

    From the highlights and reports it looks to be an exciting Test so far.

      I see plenty of people saying "Australia have it in the bag" Australia are miles away from having it there. England still have a full batting order and they have proven they can make 400+ scores. I want a run chase of 450 at least and 2 wickets before this test is done in my eyes.

        That's reasonable, plus I'd guess since there have been relatively few overs the pitch will be in ok nick for the last team to bat.

          If Hussey can get another 50 then England are finished.

            I am not looking forward to this. I can see England stepping out to bat with a realistic expectation of chasing the win.

              It's a possibility if the Aussies field as badly as they did in the first two tests and the atmospherics that help the ball swing change.

              With the number of wickets that have fallen in two days I doubt it will run to the full 5 unless the weather cocks things up. Hopefully there will be a result.

                  C'mon Australia.

                    Looks like the Aussies taking a commanding lead albeit slowly and dull-ly

                      OK, 391 to chase.

                      Doable? It'll be some sort of a record so they say. Definitely worth watching though.

                      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
