howcome not make 'em follow on ?
the spirit of the game says we have to give them a sporting chance of beating us (as in declare giving them a reasonable time to beat our total), if they just manage to bat it out then weve thrown it away.

God knows what the clown is doing. We should have made them follow on, then got them all for a duck.

McB . I actually think that Johnson will get bags of wickets for the ball-and-chain'ers , but , Jeez !!!
Glenda McGrath used to say that he hit a shoe-box on a length . Day in , day out .
My mate , this surfer dude looks like he's done the same , ...
only with a wardrobe !!!
We're currently 250-odd for no wicket . It's a rarity for Ashes Tests at H.Q. We need to see off another hour , losing one , perhaps two wickets . If we're still going at 4 / 5 an over , let Prior have an hour opening his shoulders , .. and it should be game on .
HOWEVER , this is England , remember . Caution is our watchword .
130-2, its tea now.
After a few wobbles and a bit of luck from Pietersen, England sit pretty.
Will have to up the run rate massively after lunch though - theres two key things left in this game. When to declare and the weather tomorrow.
Its a nailed on draw.

England win. Plenty of time left to bowl Aussies out.

We couldn't be in a better position to win after three days without it already being won.
I know, but I can smell the rain. I can smell the shambles, I can smell the faint whiff of nearly that comes with being English.

if it rains then we declare and skittle'em
a bit of water in the atmos is the last thing they want (they want buckets) as they just cant handle the swing.
