Good attacking move, get it up 'em!



I think he's improved immensely, he does have a pretty downbeat look about him, that's the only criticism I've got.

While we are talking terrible actions, is Johnson playing?
Oh, yes definitely playing.

Haven't you heard, he's a new player since his two week holiday and sunbaking in the nets in Adelaide. He is to be feared according to Pricky

Seriously though, I am expecting a tougher challenge in this test. I love the fact that Pricky reels out the stats for England at the WACA, ie: we have only ever won once here in 12 attempts. What he fails to also mention is that Australia's record there in the last 3 years has been woeful too

Oh, it ain't going to be a walkover for sure and, as usual, England need to start well to establish that the last couple of tests weren't a fluke

We need PunterCam, I want to watch his every grimace ...

Yeh, interesting, Ponting said he'd do the same.

Not sure this is a good omen
