Plenty of Cumulus Jimiandersonus clouds around too
. . . you're no Wincy Willis . . .

Humidity's up on yesterday and it's a tad warmer, might help the bowler's swing it a bit . . .

He's right - Watson gawn, Punter gawn, Katich gawn, Hussey nearly gawn.

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy Anderson!

Now Finn is hitting his stride

Best moment of the last two days:
To the tune of yellow submarine
Barmy Army:"you're next queen is Camilla Parker-Bowles"

Bimbo Aussie: (for all to hear) "why's that funny?"

Not very high scoring is it? Not even close to 300 runs in a day.

Amateurs.

Back to the Ashes... Australia's batting lineup looks dangerously brittle right now. Ironic that Siddle and Hussey could end up saving the day!

I reckon Hussey and Haddin have wrestled it back in Aus' favour. But as we have seen so far in this test it keeps swinging in favour of different teams.

Aus, really have had the best of the conditions so far. England pretty much exclusively batted in overcast conditions but Aus didn't really see any cloud cover until the last hour or so of the day. Additionally, that outfield was a lot faster today, there were a few that split the slips cordons that ran for 4, which just didn't happen for England, they all slowed up.

Given all that, England really bowled very well today. I am very proud in our attack, because there was little to no swing for us yet they performed really well and certainly answered the Aussie critics on whether they could perform in Aussie conditions.

The looks on the faces around were nearly as funny as the comment too

It was a really good days cricket, enhanced by the fact I ended up sitting next to BE's equivalent of Wisden's Although I'm a fan, I don't have anywhere near your level of knowledge or analytic ability, and creidt where its due, I'm impressed

My first experience today of the Barmy Army close-up too. Very entertaining, very pleasant, love their work Oh, and the Queen dropped in for a pint as well
