Broad gone. 213-7. Probably end the innings 250

 

[Disco Boy]

Oh, bother.

 

[Gooner Leroy]

Oh crap, Bairstow out 213-8

baffling, the Aussie bowlers haven't exactly been impressive

 

[matsquatch]

Be interesting to see whether the England bowlers can get the same about of swing as the Aussies have. Some pretty ordinary batting, lucky to get to 230 here....

Finn-ished.

Be lucky to get 220

 

[rotters]

215 all out. Lets hope it continues to swing.

 

[matsquatch]

That was limp! Need Anderson and Broad to fire up now......

 

[manic111]

Four batsmen with 20 plus, no 50s. Useless.

 

[rotters]

Aussies are really missing a world class spinner, England at least have Swann or Panesar to choose from.

I would take treadwell over monty any day. Treadwell is bowling magnificently atm.

 

[platypus]

Credit to Australia but a pretty poor first innings from England there.

 

[Goates]

Good old English batting collapse to start the ashes

 

[platypus]

What am I listening too ?!

Finn on a hattrick now!

 

[rotters]

Your not singing any more by the crowd love it!!!

 

[manic111]

Whoop whoop Finn!

 

[platypus]

Awwwwwwwwww played and missed!"

 

[rotters]

92.4 mph that was too. Lovely over by Finn.

You really can't beat Test cricket with all the twists and turns.

Nope, there's nothing better in sport than a good test match.

Although there's not much worse in sport than a bad test match either.

If we get Clarke tonight as well it's suddenly been a reasonably good day for us.

Edit: Lol.
