Anyone going to stay up and watch tonight??
Still debating it, not sure if I've done anything to warrant punishing myself by watching it haha.

[Number4]

Any predictions on how today's play is going to pan out?

[ProCricketer1982]

I'll be up to watch it. We had 90+mph bowlers bowling with hostility! Exactly what test cricket is about, too much medium plod around currently.

Warner on the charge, Watson due some runs and Haddin in some form, should be a good day test to watch if you try and forget England are getting to led and just take it as cricket

They'll start about midnight, bowl a bit, have drinks, bowl a bit more, breaks at about 2 o'clock and 5 o'clockish, finish at 7 o'clock then go back to their hotel I'd imagine

[Blazer]

I hope Clarke get some runs under his belt tomorrow.

You think it will last that long? Don't think Warner will blast 100, Aus declare and put Eng back in and then bowl them out for under 100 like they should have been yesterday?

[The Palmist]

Australian media are really giving it to Broad, calling him Stuart Fraud and what not.

Depends if your boys want to bring up a 4 figure lead or not

I see England batting out a draw to be honest

I would love to see it but if I'm honest it's very unlikely after the first innings

[SOULMAN1012]

After the last time at the Gabba in 2nd innings I can see Australia leaving us just 500 as the porch looks a belter but after the scores so far looks could be deceiving.

Aus will bat all day if possible which will give them a lead of about 550 then England will have to bat out of there skins to save it or win it but it doesn't look good. Part from my net looking shot to bits its not the worst thing if we lose this test as I can't seen England batting this badly again

[Number4]

Let's face it though, as much as I hate to admit it, England have the batsmen to bat for days

Where are they?

[WalkingWicket37]

Where are they?

Well Compton was left behind and Collingwood hasn't been selected for years... 

[Number4]

Where are they?

Only have look at Eng top 7 batsmen and all are capable of batting for 2 full days. Just because they didn't in the first innings doesn't mean they won't in the second.
