I think a bet on an Australian win might be a shrewd investment. You can still get good odds.

I've not got SKy so listening on 5live. Generally speaking is the wicket doing anything for the Australia bowlers or have England played some bad shots of average balls? I'm just hoping that if it's the wicket Australia should struggle to get a good second innings
 
Bad shots I think. I daresay we are trying to push the scoring rate on in order to try and effect a win, and with that you take more risks.
 
I've used them before but they're often pretty low quality and die as soon as too many people get on them. I'll subscribe to SKy Sports at some stage, esp now Setanta has died- previously I didn't want to go one or the other and get annoyed at missing out when teh game I wanted was on the other!

If he had Collingwood's mental ability, he'd probably be the best batsman in the world, though.

Sorry, who do you mean, KP or Bell? :)

If you mean Bell, then I don't agree with that. Even when he's in, he's in my eyes still too tentative. Too feeble. He's not as technically gifted as Pietersen either (i.e. the man he's been brought into replace). Bell's also had plenty of chances, I think he's well into 40 tests now. It's not like he's new to the whole feel of the occasion.

I've never seen KP as lacking mental strength..:confused:
 
Would be good seeing Freddie get a century, and touch wood he'll get one. Very difficult batting atm, Australia are bowling very accurate.

Edit - aaah..
