"3rd Ashes test"

May as well get one started...

Solid start by England, with Pieterson and Freddie to come looks like we may score well. Depends how much Warne exploits the pitch this afternoon.

Quite surprising both Lee and McGrath are playing...however knowing the Aussies they were probably fit all along!

If you're made to follow on, there's a 95% chance you're going to get dicked.

Probably won't happen though, because Shane Warne seems on a mission to prove he's the best batter as well as the best bowler in the world.

Can there be any doubt that Shane Warne is going to be up there for best cricketer ever?

Cheers.

Where, after batting, the fielding team can put you into bat straight away afterwards.

Obviously, this is useful, as there is a chance (a small one, admdittedly) that England may not even have to bat again.

Can someone explain what a follow-on is?

We are kicking them in the preverbials.

199-7 we are whopping them come on england we are doing excellent

Clarke's just gone. But he wasn't looking any good, anyway. Shame, really (about his back). Although I hate to agree with Boycott, he is an awesome player.

Boycott Gem #235: "They need to take all the runs they can get."

Yeah, because if they weren't trying to avoid the follow-on, they'd be saying 'Runs? No thanks'.

Oh. Right.

A while ago we had Forum Pinkies, that was quite something.

I know, smv removed it though.

Oh, it's gone now. I swear I wasn't seeing things though. You were all green.
