[Weebull]

Waste of a review, that hit the pad way too high imo. The review actually made me realise it was closer than I thought!

Their tail can bat well, especially in Aussie conditions, though.

We will see, the 2 that have come in are worse then hilt and mitch they didn't do much

The Aussies in the office have been pretty quiet today, I wonder why

Fantastic start to the 2nd test, I can't wait to get down there on Sunday, hope there's as much action! I rang one of my mates who's at the Oval when the third wicket dropped and it sounded thunderous.

Great catch Pietersen! 4 down, 6 to go.

Doherty run out. Strauss doing the work there. 226-8.

 

[Trojan]

All out by the end of day 1? Gotta hope so

We can but hope. New ball taken by Strauss and given to Anderson, who on 17-4-38-3, looks to be enjoying this and has been given an early Christmas present in the form of the last two Aussie wickets.

 

[MarcLister]

Siddle gone. Bowled Anderson caught Cook for 3. 242-9.

Get in, what a start for England.

Fantastic innings - but it's only as good as the reply so will see how tomorrow plays out.

Gotta wonder what next for the Aussies though, beg Warne, McGrath and Lee out of retirement? Their tail is really poor batting-wise, the previous Aussie team you could always rely on a few runs or sticking around at the very least.

Fantastic 1st day for england with some great fielding. Hopefully it won't all turn to **** tomorrow!
