Ashes 2010/11

[KevinGage]

England looking sharp in the field again.

28-3 at the moment.....lovely stuff.

[KevinGage]

Watson gone.

This just gets better and better.

[KevinGage]

65-4 at lunch.

On the surface that looks like a fantastic effort.

But it hasn't been a relentless barrage of pressure by any means.
Anderson and Finn below par, but fcuk me you'd take this if offered beforehand.

Hussey looks solid, and this is his home ground. But you'd back one of the seamers to clean him up or at least limit his impact. Smith looks like what he is, a novice but with Haddin still to come there is a bit of resistance yet.

Hopefully there's not too many pats on the back in the dressing room. As odd as this may  sound with 4 down at lunch, England can do better. Skittle this shower out for circa 200 and it would be very hard -even for England- to throw this one away.

Now 69 for 5. Glad that partnership's been broken, wish it was Hussey out though.

[KevinGage]

This is like playing Pakistan - only without the controversy.

Knock over their top order relatively easily but then the real cricket starts when you get to the middle order.

[TheTimVilla]

A 50 partnership up in double quick time.

[KevinGage]

Hussey gone after a review.

Mr Cricket not walking despite a definite edge.

[TheTimVilla]

Mind you, Holding didn't hear a nick first time.

Glad he's gone though.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

James Blunt AKA Finn has been awful, he can be expensive.

[Shrek]

Just woke up, great day so far, Johnson is putting up a bit of a fight but we should knock them over in thr next hour.

[beness]

267-9. come on lads finish em off!

[beness]

268 all out

[Dave]

England 29-0 at stumps.

Decent day.
