Thanks: Gave 178, Got 1,228 | I'm watching the ashes 3rd test
Right, second day just started and I'm going to watch the rest of the England innings 
I predict it'll last about 3 hours 
I don't believe this, I'm sat with a thin jumper on about 2ft from a half open window and I'm not cold.
The heating has been off for about 2 hours 
Is this global warming that bad?
Sorry, I digress.

Strauss gone.
That was never out by the eye, although in all fairness I heard a nick.
Makes up for McGrath yesterday, I guess.
Totally reckless batting, IMO

Flintoff gone 107-5.
I'm on course with my prediction

122-6
We're horrendous, batting wise.
Panasar got 5, they haven't even called on Warne yet 
God, what are we teaching our players?
The batting is kamakaze at best.
Slog it, seems to be the mantra, I've seen better at school and that was 30 years ago.
As for the speed of the bowlers, I thought they (Lilee and Thompson) were nudging 100mph yonks ago
As for the commentators trying to defend the batsmen, it's just a joke.
We're crap, simple.
And in one way it's funny
If I was an aussie, I'd be wetting myself laughing.

Hopefully KP will start smashing Warne around now.

Six posts later and you finally get a response. I thought you were going to post back and forth to yourself all day at that rate  Only kidding.
Anyway, been keeping up to date with the cricket myself and good to see that England managed to restrict Australia to a low score, although they didn't manage to follow up with the advantage and ended up getting all out themselves for less!  Australia are now in the driving seat to hopefully post a large total and wrap the series up.

I fell asleep after that post
I watched the highlights not long ago
We've had it mate.
I now predict a whitewash.
We can't bat to save our lives, IMO.
As bad as it sounds, I wish we had a grinder like Boycott, who could anchor an innings.
Move Monty up to no 8, too.
The annoying part is, after whipping the aussies out pretty quick, I knew what would happen.
The aussies will now rack up a big score and then declare.
And we may get a draw, if we're lucky.
I'm guessing the wicket will die with the heat.
Fletcher will get the bullet, IMO.
