Useful partnership this, desperately need a wicket now or the game is moving away from us.

And Clarke happily obliges!

[PaulWinch again]

Broad when he is on a role is the best in the world in my opinion.

Who needs Jimmy Anderson

Sydney Barnes the last England player to take a fifer before lunch in a Test (1913).....a great Bear of yesteryear!!!!

[paul_e]

This is right up there with the best spells of bowling I've ever seen. No particularly poor shots amongst the wickets, which makes it all the more impressive.

boycott is so far up his own arse.......but it's enjoyable

[passitsideways]

Oh well, we had a good run.

Congrats to you guys, see you back in Oz in...28 months. Bugger.

We need a wicket, if these two hang around etc

33-7 now. If ever there's going to be a Test finished in 2 days.......................

We need a wicket because if these two put on a partnership we could be in trouble..

I clean forgot about the cricket.

I only remembered when I got in the car to pop into 'Nam town centre. The Aussies were four down at that point.

By the time that I'd been to the bank and grabbed a coffee, I just got back in the car in time to hear the seventh one go down

[Dave Cooper please]

They've just managed to beat their lowest ever Test score though.

[UK Redsox]

There's number 8
