[Mr Cricket]

i think boycott has it spot on when he says eng, ind, saf are the best 3 teams around and the only difference is when they play in different conditions

[tommy2tink]

The same Boycott who after a few minutes of play on day one said
"I can't see any way how England can win this Test from what I've seen so far. A draw would do"?

Looks like on their return to heathrow, england will have to go through the red eisle "anything to declare" Yes one little urn....;0)

[Mr Cricket]

same person, different words

[will5210]

England progressing nicely. Ponting's behaviour unacceptable!

[yvk3103]

3 quick wickets but Eng still in control. A lead of 250-300 will set the game up very well.

[will5210]

Let off for Prior!

Great umpiring but Dar. Needs to be given credit for that!

[roco]

I like that new rule personally

[Colesy]

My friend's status 'It must be depressing playing cricket when the other team has faced more overs in their innings than you made runs in yours :L'

[roco]

Where is the like button for that

[Colesy]

Boycs is a legend. Laughing at Trott 'get up you big girl' 'Shoulda used the middle of the bat' 'This is an Oscar nomination' 'If he were a dog he woulda been shot by now'
Haha

[Mr Cricket]

hopefully they throw the book at punter, noones got the right to have a go at the umpires like that

[roco]

At least a ban for me a match fee fine would be a disgrace you cannot do that even the Aussie commentators want him sacked lol

[Johng]

Yeah agree roco, Ponting is an arrogant rat.

Went to the MCG today and absolutely enjoyed the days play, sounds strange coming from an Australian.

Trott innings was outstanding and without chance and the banter from the Barmy Army was outstanding.

Feel very detached from this Australian side as I know the poorer they perform the more positive change that will occur to Australian cricket.

But a real joy for my son to watch and learn from tough, tight and discipline batting that was on display from the English batsman today.
