England have to back that up with some solid batting now or it will be for nowt. Hopefully "Midge" is back on pie-flinging duty ...

Has there ever been a more one-sided day of test cricket?
Australia were pathetic.

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
Having had a rather good night staying with friends here in UK my last conscious act was to check the score to find Aus about 48/5 or something, just woke up assuming it was a drink addled dream. England 157/0 I saw on my phones cricket 'app' , "hmm thats quite good" my bleary brain said, took awhile to find the Aus total...

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
Can't see us winning with a start like this. Strauss was lucky to win the toss, and did the right thing by electing to field. The Poms will get the best of the pitch today, and will probably rack up a hefty score as batting conditions improve. If Ponting had won the toss, England could be in our position right now.

Re: Ashes 2010 thread. Who's gonna win?
Rubbish. The pitch did little to nothing. It was just good line and length bowling coupled with awful batting that has plagued this Australian team for 2 years now! The fact is the media and Aussie public were fooled into thinking everything was hunky dorey after the Perth test, when really the result just covered up the pre-existing batting cracks that have been there for ages. Only Hussey, Haddin, Watson and Johnson actually performed with the bat the others were as woeful as they had been throughout the series. England, on the other hand are just showing that Perth was just a bad day at the office. Winning the toss is why England is in the lead? What a load off toss
10% Pitch
90% Shite batting
And that is on the generous side ...

I was trying to figure the hidden joke in that one.

Estimates for the crowd tomorrow anyone? 30,000?
