The Ashes

313-9 now. Only been catching snippets so far but is 300+ a decent total on this wicket?

I doubt they would be happy. After electing to bat first, i reckon they were hoping 400+. The wicket looks really flat and there isn't much movement.

I think 300 is a minimum, it looks as flat as anything.

343-9 now then. I guess we will have a good idea of how this Test might go by end of play today after the bowlers have had a go at the Aussies.

I reckon this could end up a draw

Interesting morning - great stuff for the moment.

Not sure, i reckon the Aussies are going to hit 450+ on this wicket.

It all got a bit surreal there, with Boycott talking about eating Katy Perry on a cake

I'm switching to Sky Go so I don't have to put up with him.

Very difficult to tell until the other team have batted on it. We were surprised by the low scoring in the NZ game here.

Smith was getting plenty of turn on the first day so it's hardly a completely flat track. Even if it was flat, swing doesn't need a pitch, and Anderson particularly is good at that.

Watson in and out

Now't wrong with Sir Geoff
