We need to counter attack now, it was fine when Vince and Stoneham were going but we're going nowhere and we're losing wickets. We need to put the pressure back on them.

Spent quite a while in 0z 94 to 95. Was in Brisbane for about 3 weeks on the West End. I found it an odd place. A big city but quite a tame and limited night life. Is it still the same? Although had a very memorable night when a lovely fit young lady and I jumped the fence into a newly opened artificial beach and pool complex on the south bank about 3am (still 29 degrees) and went skinny dipping until chased out by a very angry rotund security guard. Happy days.

I don't really think it's even more 60/40 weighted in favour of the Aussies. A lot is resting on the two batsmen at the crease at the moment. If one of them goes cheaply tomorrow morning, then I think we'll struggle to get towards 300. There's always the possibility of a Moeen slog though I suppose, if wickets start to fall quickly.
Funny day really, could've been better, could've been much worse. The main thing from an England point of view was the confidence it'll give Stoneman, Vince and Malan that they do belong in the Ashes Test arena. It's one of those often used phrases in Cricket to say the next session is vital but with the game so evenly balanced tomoorow mornings session is massive in the context of this game, maybe even the series.I think I'd have taken 196-4 at the start of play though.
did anyone watch the BT coverage ? I saw a bit and thought it was bland, may be I am missing Bumble, Holding, Gower etc...196/4...I would of took that before play started, need to bat until at least tea tomorrow UTVThe Doc

I didn't even realise they'd got the rights for it until it was mentioned here the other day.
