Yep. Only three full days to play after today. Weather set fair. Probably only chasing a small total. The pitch looks like it will hold up well. I reckon everything is going Australia's way. :wink:

Or to put it another way:

England second innings - 172 for none.

Mind you, 58-3 at stumps shows that batting will not get any easier, even for England.

230 run lead now, what does the panel think, as rustle's tag says, will put it "beyond hope" for Australia? I won't be able to sit comfortably until (unless) we get another 150 at least. 7 wickets in hand, should be a doddle, but after nearly 50 years of following England cricket, I seem to have been here before. :oops:

I wish that tubby lady would start clearing her throat. :pray:

Aim to bat until tea or thereabouts, whereby they should have easily got a lead of 350-400.

Then hit 'em hard....

I'm playing club cricket this afternoon. Two weeks ago we had the radios around the boundary but people weren't particularly keen to listen. I think today may be quite different....

Time for a little something? How about a platter of cold meats, some quiche, egg mayonaise and salad, followed by cheesecake, black forest gateau or merinque nests?

Never mind the solids, get a bottle of Bolly on ice; I'm starting to believe that it will come in handy tomorrow. :drunken:

So you need to prepare by getting your stomach well-lined with food... yes?

AB have you got the cake tin - the crumbs are going everywhere, oh and could you pop round to the offie just in case it develops into a bit of a session.(please xx)

Midnight snack anyone?

Yep. Chocolate and G&T here. Fancy a nibble?

Pint of Masterbrew and a bag of pig itch, please.
