Interesting point. I seem to recall during our glory days that I heard commentators/players mentioning they aim for at least 25% of their total runs to be in singles.

I can't see how the weather is likely to prevent England getting the win here. Indeed, if it stays away, we're likely 15 runs shy of a 2-1 lead.

Great take from Haddin puts Australia right into the driver's seat. Cook gone for 62, England now 4-110 - still 417 behind.

Yep. It's Clarke's fault that the other guys are knobs, Watson refuses to fix technical flaws and we have no other decent batsmen in the country.

Watson - what a hack.

Great captaincy from Clarke to put Watson on. Ball coming on well and the shorter man gets the LB. Root tough to see if it's pad first or bat or both at the same time. No way it's conclusive evidence - should be out. Is out.

Dave Warner - too big for his boots and I, for one, wouldn't be sad if I never saw him in the baggy green ever again.

Sorry to bump (this'll be the last one!) - I've received another email from the club about sending a loyalty certificate and team photo. I've PM'd you with details and what you need to do.

Is it true that the hotspot missed Jonathon Trott's edge onto his pad in the second innings because they were showing a replay of an earlier hotspot?

It's shocking. In my opinion, the downsides and drawbacks of the DRS system far outweigh the benefits it brings.

And that's why you save your reviews.

Flashbacks of 2005!

A poor decision for sure, but it shouldn't be forgotten the reason we couldn't challenge it. The referral of the LB earlier in the day was absolutely shocking and completely wasted our last review. Costly. While Pattinson should've known better, I place the blame pretty squarely with Haddin. He should've known the ball was passing leg by a mile and said as much immediately. Could cost us dearly, if it hasn't already.

Ed Cowan! What in the world were you thinking?!?

Siddle with 5 of 6!

Wow! What a day! Sharapova out. FEDERER out!!! 7 withdrawals including big Jo and Azarenka. Opens the door for Murray and probably cements it for Serena.

Hi all, I've PM'd all the relevant people (I believe) about contact from the club. Please let me know if you didn't get a PM but should've. At the risk of revealing myself to be an idiot - I can't figure how (or if) you send multiple PMs to people in the one go.

Game of Thrones. Season 3. Episode 9. You have killed television for me. You are the worst thing I have ever witnessed and now I not only hate all forms of entertainment media, I also hate life. You should have come with a warning. You didn't. You are the worst.

The club have got behind our sponsorship, putting an article on the website here. Go Dees!

It didn't take long, did it?

Demonland is proud to announce the signing of a future star of the MFC - Jasmine Garner! The 18 year old, who plays for the St Kilda Sharks, will make history as she dons the famous Red and Blue on the 29th of June to do battle in the inaugural Dees women's team. A profile of Garner can be read here and a summary of the donations page - including the official information of Demonland's involvement - here. We wish Jasmine all the best in the lead up to the game, a wonderful game on the day and a bright and prosperous career. Go Garner, Go Dees!

Too bad it was in an ODI, ey

Not sure about that. I think sides that keep match practice/fitness up and hit finals with momentum have a massive leg-up.

Kane Williamson is such a talent but he simply has to learnt to tick the runs over. Regularly he bats out 30/40+ deliveries only to be undone. Too often that's for about 5-10. He needs to tick the runs over to relieve pressure and place it on the opposition captain. I shudder to think what Broad and Anderson will do to our meek batting line up. We have to pray Starc, Cummins and Pattinson stay fit!

Whoever has Anderson...?
