When we got 400+ in our first innings, I thought that was a decent score. How wrong I was  It's fair to say we're getting our arses kicked by the Aussies (again !) and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the series. FA x |

I think when we won the ashes, in 05, we lost the first match in that series, :(so maybe thats a sign of good things to come, |

What a finish, the crowd had me in stitches, dead silence during the run up, then erupting after the ball was bowled. ;D

Yep. Back to the bad old days wasn't it. We need to get them out for less than 300 today if we have any chance of saving this one.
Still, it'll make the last one exciting won't it....... ;D
