Third Ashes Test

Looking good shame about peiterson but they are gonna go for it now

Good knocks by Strauss and Bell. Need a few more runs to get a 400+ lead

This lead is big enough i cant see aus getting it in ONE day we MUST declare if still in tonight

I would declare at 400 and put australia in and see if can get some wickets before 6.30

G JONES IS A LEGEND

He isnt.


Vaughan has Langer in knots here.

Dissapointed we couldnt get a wicket before today was out.

The light possibly cost us, with Vaughan having to go with spin from both ends or risk being taken off.

Still thought we could have got the runs slightly quicker than we did and given ourselves 20-30 mins more bowling time at the end of the day. For instance Bell tooK 44 balls to reach 10, which was pointless when whe already had a lead of 250+ and 8 wickets in hand.

Never mind, lets hope the weather stays dry and we knock 10 over tomorrow. Im off work, so will be watching i reckon!

So if we don't get all 10 wickets today, will it be a draw?

If australia can bat all day but not get 423 then it will be a draw

WICKET!

Fred is bowling out of this world! Finally got one after so many near misses.

One more before lunch and we will be in a great position.

yeah 3 before luch would be great

YES!!!!!!!

Harmison & Jones have had Ponting & Martyn under the kosh since lunch.

Martyn gone, LBW to Harmison.

129 - 3

165 - 4, Katich gone

Fred strikes again!

The third wicket was never out btw, but who cares eh.

182-5

Gilchrist gone

What a jaffer from Simon Jones, Clarke gone for 39, 263-6

And another 264-7

COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

This is getting tense now.


Think Vaughan should have kept going with the old ball for a few more overs. Simon Jones was swinging it all over the place. The Aussies were stuggling almost every ball.

Now they look quite comfortable against the new ball. Need a wicket soon, so we can get at Lee and McGrath.

we dont want the fat cunt warne pullin anotha 90+,,,the fat bastard,,
