[procricket]

Anyone think England are out of the game?

not just the game springs to mind either same old england down under iam afraid

give it to the jerk top hundread

[Johng]

Swann learning the hard way about bowling off spin on Aussie decks.

[procricket]

more the damm ball hardly a different deck to a english one though is it john the gabba

were just poor all round at the moment started for me when strauss got out same as when harmison bowled the wide when freddie kept to it...

just not good enough

[alexrickyponting]

mike i respect prior as a player, however imo he  does not always play to the situation very well, first example that comes to mnd is when he got caught hooking in S.A when he had just got to the crease and england were in need of a recovery. until no i thought haddin may have been somewhat the same but this innings has shown incredible restraint and maturity on his part.
im not that fussed by stats in is sort of case where the stats are fairly similar, p;ayers get different opportunities depending on their team-mates etc

[Johng]

I do know for a fact that the Aussie boys are out to hammer Swann where ever they can

But only the first test but England can only play for a draw now at best

[procricket]

lets pray for rain of course you would try and belt the ranked best spinner in the world out of there and they know if they do we need a extra bowler

agree with beefy and slats it looks very ordinary from england

give colly and peitersen a bowl

[Opener]

Guys, if the English apply themselves there is no venom in the Aussie bowling attack. But, I am really disappointed in Swann. Convinced all my mates he will be the difference. But all is not lost.

[sultanofswing]

I think we can hope for a draw from this game. if Aus can bat for nearly 2 days so can we!
Plenty of days cricket left in the series.

[Mr Cricket]

Colly is the key, 400 ball 30 from him will do us nicely and hes capable of it!

I'll be staying up to watch tonight. ahhh, the joys of pinching your mates sky player account 

It does worry me though as the pitch is breaking up rapidly now and there were big cracks on it yesterday. When the seamers hit them it will do all sorts. Hilfenhaus will be the key for them and Strauss for us. Predicting a big score from Pietersen and Strauss tonight. Swann needs to get his act into gear soon too, bowled far too short in the 1st innings.

Swann needs to get his act into gear soon too, bowled far too short in the 1st innings.

Reminds me of an off spinner at my club....
