Well good luck lads, I think if it stays clear we should win.

Anyone think England might have to bat again?

It's a turning pitch, but 137+ between Hussey, North and Haddin wouldn't be out of the question. Plus if they get a partnership going for any length of time they might even carry a narrow (but valuable enough) lead. Not necessarily enough to win the game (on a 5th day pitch never say never though) but certainly to ensure the draw.

Should England have declared earlier or stuck another 40 runs on, hard one to call. If it's a complete washout today it won't have made much difference either way.

Hussey is an aggravating barsteward who plays spin well, I can see him hanging around. But there is a chink of light with North fresh in. Get him early, nail Haddin and that should be the game. Siddle might offer a bit of resistance but you'd back Swann or one of the seamers to clean up.

Hopefully they get enough play in the morning to make serious inroads.

We just need to get 2 wickets tomorrow out of Hussey, North and Haddin and the rest will follow soon enough.

The big rain that they forecast to hit us in Adelaide this evening hasn't hit yet, in fact it's gone around Adelaide itself and stayed in the hills, so hopefully we'll get a decent start tomorrow.

The moisture in the air can only be good for Jimmy's reverse swing. Hopefully, might speed things up!

3 hours of play and i'd be amazed if we didn't win the game.

Swann will bowl a lot lot worse than he did today and take 5 wickets.

Ball was turning square by the end.

Broad may be out of the series, with a stomach injury.

Predict Aussies batting up to tea and than all out with a lead of 70 or so. England knock them off  with ease!

I have a horrible feeling this will be a draw. We need some luck this morning.

Another 5 wouldn't go amiss.
