what a game if you have seen in SBS.
It was really worth to watch it during weekend including red eyes Sunday night.
I am hoping we are going to break a record of fourth innings score and will flog the POM in their Lords on Monday.
What a passion, patience and character of both the batsmen showed last night.

Not a big fan of Haddin. but this will be the first time I will be supporting him 
He does have a tendency for brain explosions and goes for big shots.
Will be heartbreaking if we lose this one, especially since we should have nailed the first test

What to say - we've copped a bunch of bad decisions and England have had the best of the conditions. However in saying that, we were the better team in the first test but the bowlers couldn't close it out and we have been outplayed in this test in both bowling and batting. Pray for a miracle!

Today starts with all blue skies and glorious sunshine at Lords. Not much wind and warming up to 23 degrees with clouds coming in from the West later in the afternoon and showers forecast.
No doubt England's fast bowling lineup will throw everything at Clarke and Haddin in the first hour this morning.

Next test looks to be without Kevin Pieterson who is injured. If the London Evening Standard can be believed, several England players have been turned over in a financial scam, sum involved, about AU$170 million.
The fraud gang operated a "Bernie Madoff-style scam". A suspected mastermind has been arrested. A business consulting company "Business Consulting International", was used to con more than 600 investors worldwide.
A High Yield fund was used supported by investment consultants in Surrey, England. Just over AU$4.5 million has so far been recovered.
Money is thought to be hidden in Thailand, Dubai and the Cayman Islands.

Don't you think Johnson should go before Siddle?
I think Watson should go in for Hughesaswell!

Well they are both going for a run a ball ATM, difference is Johnson has the ability to take a 4 or 5-for, whereas i dont think Siddle does. Dont get me wrong, im a fan of Siddle's work rate but IMO he needs to rattle the Poms cage more than he has.
Watson is not an opener, unfortunately. He was tried as one for QLD and his scores were 0,0,0,15,13,0
Only other option is Hussey, but i wouldnt bat him there. Hughes will come good he just needs to work on playing the short ball
