We are looking tired. Seems like we don't know where to get a wicket. Hard to know what to try...

We're into the tail now but they've got a big lead.

Fairly satisfactory Morning Session there wouldn't you say?

Excellent drop by Johnston. (sp?)

Good day so far. Starting to look like a draw after all. Have some cradles here tonight and am trying to explain how this is acceptable after five days of play...

Don't even try mate. It's like trying to explain iced hockey to a human.

<the skysports1 feed I've been watching has just switched to some bleeding boxing match. Your cradles will likely prefer that>

Yeah, its a bit crap. You can get the Aussie feed - I have the address if you want but really not worth the effort. The guy will probably switch back from boxing soon, he seems to be flicking around a bit. I am hoping he might go to a porn channel, but no luck so far.

Another 50 runs and then declare and then knock over a few of the Aussies. Very few Aussies in the crowd. Very fair weather fans.

More or less agree. I'd probably go for a lead of 280-290 if that is achieved quickly, then go for a demoralized group of Aussies and aim for those cracks (which are ridiculous but heck it's their home wicket).

Fancy dress day at the Gabba, with almost everyone coming as a chair.

Bloody funny, Bumble is talking about Monopoly now. This is the kind of sports commentary we should expose cradles to. Of course it's still a relief that Ricky can't say ""Come and have a bowl, Shane" (obviously not referring to Watson).
Might be worth staying up, though Strauss is likely to be happy with the draw.

Nasser likes to be an iron. I wonder if Bumble wanted to be the hatter? :)
