I've unfortunately been in Berlin since the end of the fuirst day so haven't seen any of days 2,3 or 4's action, anyone know anywhee good to watch highlights online (the ECB ones won't load for me for some reason)

[jonpinson]

Right, England will bat for an hour and get 75+ runs and declare. Aussies will open well being 250-4 then collapse and England will win by and innings.

Either that's clever editing or you are a genius sir.

Now please pick 6 numbers between 1 and 49.......;0)

First session is massive tonight, Swann from one end rotate from the other, need at least two in the first session you would think...

[Mr Cricket]

I agree completely. If the weather is going to come in, those extra overs on a flat pitch will make no difference as taking wickets has been proven not to be straightforward.

However, the question always arises as to whether a slightly smaller target (say 300-325) gives a pschological advantage and causes the batsmen to play less sanely as they believe it is easier to get and therefore try too hard to chase it down, thereby handing the bowling team wickets.

same old negative tactics from england, if we needed to win this test to win the ashes we would have declared overnight, should have been no different here. hope this doesnt come back to haunt us.

[Apple]

100% agree

I dont think you realize how age can take toll, if warne rocked up and started  bowling at england he would be mauled and smashed, he hasnt played proper cricket and bowled a long spell of bowling for years, there is no chance of him coming back.

Step forward Chris Tremlett, but i fear Bresnan will get the nod (too much of the same bowler as we already have)!!!!

[essexarsenal]

interview with swann after the days play , he said he thinks broad will be fine and broad was back on fielding at the end of days play anyway, he should be ok 

[Apple]

If he is injured they must get in Shazad

[jonpinson]

It might not be a bad thing, Broad has hardly set the world alight so far. My biggest fear is with Finn. Ok he got 6 for alot in the first match, but he is there to be a strike bowler, to cause discomfort to Australia. So far he has been expensive and got a few tail enders. Not really the desired job.

I disagree about Finn. He's caused major problems to Mike Hussey coming around the wicket who has easily been Australias best batsman and looks like a good prospect. Lets remember hes only 21 and playing in his 1st ashes series. Can only get better...

Wouldnt mind if Broad had to go, Tremlett would have to be the replacement or if its a square turner then play monty.

He is not actually in the squad so is he allowed to play?

[Coach]

The squads are just a guide, he can be added to the squad
