It will be interesting to see if and when England go on the defensive. Another 20 runs without loss and I think the balance shifts

yep.. should get to that this is a 3 hour session. The time/run equation is still telling me around 400... maybe 375

wow 10 runs off the first over

The Thommo Lillee days were big but that Ashes series marked the start of perhaps what was the longest period of sustained domination by any team in cricketing history. India have come close but at best they matched us, Hard to compare earlier eras as they played comparatively few tests.

That was the start of Australia's dominance

if Warner is going to hand over his wicket like that (double zeros this test) what can be expected of the remainder 200 is the target ... any idea of today's remaining overs/time

We do the hard yards and then Zeus sends down the lightning bolts And there's another

Riccardio ended up at 5.... might have been 4 with luck total shambles

I can assure you..... we could

LeClerc but it was farcical ..... all the drivers bar one mistimed their last run' Looking similar to the cricket

So out but no reviews left. Thought these umpires were supposed to be better than the last lot

Now now.. they were crucified by that angry Swiss tribunal. They were of course cleared by our independent local mob.

Boy..this is reminiscent of us playing Richmond... stay with them and then they put the foot to the metal. 20 points plus up.... game over. Shame I was enjoying the contest

Do you think they will enforce the follow on if given the opportunity? Hasn't been done for a long time but with the breaks in play yesterday the Australian bowlers will still be reasonably fresh and of course Paine will fear a repeat of the last test.

yes I could have one Gb speed for A$50 but I'm not sure what I would do with it.

did I mention the $40 a month 500Mb fibre internet connection here. Something I can only dream of with my ADSL 2 back in Melbourne

No.. without DeGoey I just don't see them kicking enough goals. They were so much better last year with Cox as their focal point. Can Pendlebury and Sidebottom play blinders again this year as well.

Must say their continual bombing of the ball into the forward line in the first quarter reminded me of something

In Malaysia.. China time so very good for having a sports bonanza 32 degrees and I can hear the waves slowly crashing on the Straits of Malacca. Time for the first G and T of the evening At least I'm getting some use from my Kayo subscription

overseas so I have to change between apps which unfortunately isn't a quick process. And then of course we have qualifying in the Italian GP. A big night

just came back... missed a high tackle and then paid a throw Cricket about to start... channel switching skills required

I think the premiers will come from this side of the draw. WC the only threat on the other side of the draw

Umpiring very disappointing in both games today. If these are our best we have a problem.

Weideman took a few dollars as too did Brayshaw and Tom Mac last year. Add Frost as well. In the case of the last three the problem is that our medium term projections would have had them signing at lower figures but their re-signing co-incided with major form improvements. Lewis and Garlett decreases would have been budgeted for a while. I suspect Jones is one of the first to pay the cost of the unbudgeted increases. Hibberd could be next. The other unknown is the increase in total player payments following the next TV negotiations.

so true we are so often kicking under pressure to a tight contest. If you think about it you only need at most 50% of the team to be good kicks and then the odds favour the lesser kicks giving it to those who can. I believe it's called a gameplan
