**** yes please. Whole team out in an hour would be great. He's a battler old Haddin though, slightly worried.

Good Session last night (here). Some lovely shots by Bell, and what the FF is going on with Clarkes Slips? They could have wrapped it up much earlier with some more confident players in there, and some unlucky placements had the ball spearing through the gap for four.
Anyway, its a big final day coming up, honestly it's Englands to lose. If Agar does his thing again and he's got someone to stay with him, you never know.

It's meant to be overcast and muggy in Nottingham today so the ball should nip about a bit more, I say Englands game by tea

I hope it's over before lunch, that's midnight here, I've got work at 5am ffs.

Ouch! Think the Aussies have enough batting to make it to lunch, but England should get them out
It all depends on how well the Aussies play the new ball, that's when it'll be easiest to score runs

If they get to lunch they'll be over half way there I reckon, which is scary. I've seen Pattinson, Siddle and Starc all score quick 50s in the last summer down here. I still think deep down we'll be ok, and their tail is a long one and weak one, but they all have a slogging 50 in them.

Agreed, there's the potential for the Aussies to do it, only thing I'd say is this pitch is difficult to slog a quick 50, which should work in Englands favour

new ball due in 10 overs let swann openen the bowling, keep J A back till we can take it
I wouldn't use it for at least 20 overs. Let Swann work the old ball and take advantage of the spin, let Anderson in with the new ball to smash away the tail end if we get one or two early.

A sweaty palm will be the key lads, someone has had their hand in warm water all night to hydrate it beyond belief and will look like jeremy beadle wearing a sepp maier glove as he comes out of the pavilion.
