She's warbling 

Erm, seems to be a bit quiet in this thread today 

Thought the Aussies amongst us, would be prodding us with big sticks at the moment.

At least they're still 2-0 down in the series.

Knowing the Manchester weather it will be a draw

I think nowadays the Aussies know better than to take the mickey out of British sports teams of various disciplines. Lets face it, in the last few years the guys and Girls from Oz have really been stumped at competitive level sports. Their recent Olympic team effort proved that! LoL

Its sad to say that Australian Radio Disc Jockey's are more famous internationally than most of their sport playing countrymen, albeit for completely different reasons 

Sorry to be so late joining such an important thread - 1st test obviously so exciting as with 2nd but .... always felt the Aussies at some point in series will begin to play like Aussies, and like Aussies in an Ashes test - Ce la Vie, here they are!

As Pietersen seems to be going well (his current form hasn't been good) I'd say the pitch is a batsmans paradise

Quite agree Mereman,  IGJAM is doing okay today but we do need him to be the more positive of himself, like the Aussies, we need him, KP to be KP in sensible team conscious mode, yea?
Just hop Bell can keep doing what he does best - prayed last night that we could just score on 2 balls per over, both of those to be 4's - 80 overs for 640 in the day would have sorted them out - but I do like to dream, day or night!

Big thread bump!!!!

England all out for 67?!!

They seem to be doing a bit better at Headingly, though....

Just about to start, no sleep for Bealman 

 6 year bump!!!
That has to be a record surely?

when I were a lad and played the game ......

we wore WHITES, not some technicolour mish mash

we didn't have numbers on our backs

and a good stroke was greeted with cries of 'well played', not a deafening blast of some pop song.

but then, I'm getting old and grumpy.

Don't know about pop songs but we're doing OK at the moment.

Maybe this is more appropriate....

Sorry, class 30725.... Come on chaps, a few cucumber sandwiches at lunch and we might even beat these Antipodean rotters 

Cheers weave
