ohmy.gifsad.gif ok, who's handy work was it to leave a cricket ball under McGrath's foot. Is sabotage the only way England feel they can win? What next, the coin hitting Ponting's eye at the toss (ok, already done, I know) tongue.gif

Nothing to be happy about depriving the series of a class bowler.

Being English, you should be delighted.

Is Warne's (ex) wife still available?

Gillespies is, as Slater is in the commentry box at the moment.

Does anyone know where I can see some highlight video clips? Obviously it is too early to see some of the shots from this Test, but I desperately want to see Martin's catch in the first test.

Living in Taiwan = little chance of seeing cricket clips

The number of ODI matches before the tests have contributed to all the England batsmen playing one day shots. I wonder what the tests would have been like if the ODI was at the end of the ashes series

Maybe Scotty, but we`ll have a better idea after they bat. Anything like any lead on 1st innings for England and I would fancy us to win it. And 600 in a day is asking a little much though...

The imponderable is England's fielding. The Aussie batsmen have an issue tomorrow- either treat this like a proper test match and ground out the runs for few wickets down or take up the gungho ODI challenge England has set them.

All test match logic should tell them to look to ground out 650 over two and a half days but their pride has probably been bent out of shape by the smearing they took today.

So irrespective of what they should be doing, I expect the Aussie batsmen will be out there throwing the willow around and if the chances stick, follow-on will be up for discussion on TMS by lunch time/early afternoon.

However, another pityable England performance in the field and the Australians will be within a whisker of England's total with five or six wickets in hand by close of play tomorrow.

The first two or three catch/run out opportunities tomorrow could well prove decisive not only for this match but in the series. The chances will be offered, of that I'm pretty certain.

Of course, it's probably going to rain all day.
