Nasser Hussain is in the middle and giving his pitch report. It's about 29 degrees and an 8mph wind coming from the north. The surface is dry and there are cracks on it, and the consensus is that the pitch will play well for a couple of days before the cracks open up, and thereafter there will be uneven bounce for the quick men ... not to mention what Warne will do.
As a newby to this thread, is the score going to be regularly posted or will I have to resort to the ABC?:p
http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/e...ch/249222.html
But expect a bit of extra info on here from the Woodie Experts:D :D :D
Good link Benny, I have an FM radio in my PC & 2 screens. :D
Good to see them start well. First ball a wide.:D :D :D

When minimised it shows the score in the task bar.
9 off the first over, is it a one dayer? Can't be Poms arn't batting:D :D :D
Benny's link does too.Quote:

Poor, wayward start from Anderson. Poor, wayward start from England too. They're rustier than a bag of spanners left out in the winter rain
Australia off to a flyer here; England have yet to board the plane, let alone become airborne.
Just love these comments, good to have an Aussie common Tater, after suffering those Poms last Ashes test.
There slowing down. Now only 5.6/ over:D
They (Poms) could at least try to be competitive?
Radio reception a bit dodgey here. I have to sit in my chair very still. If I move my left elbow, I lose the station.
Can't you stream it over the internet?Quote:

Don't move your left elbow. :D
If he doesn't lock it in straight call him for a no ball:DQuote:

With 3 kiwis involved you shouldn't have any trouble with the Poms.
Russell Crowe...winding the Poms up
Jeff Crowe (russ's cousin) Match referee
Billy Bowden ..Umpire
Weather here is wet and cool although not as cold as it usually is this time of year.
Looks as thought the poms aren't doing too well so its off to bed for me (1:00am) Got to work later.
See Brendan has the same Auto response to the wrod as well:D :D :D
For some fun have a look at the BBC commentary, they are not ammused:D :D
G'day Benny,Quote:

(I've got no idea so don't blame me, lol) But if the test is still at the Gabba tomorrow, then we should be drinking XXXX Gold. I'll put a tab on at the Gabba Hotel so you can just walk across the road.
"What the hell is Harmison doing out there? He hasn't bowled well for two years, I think we all have to realize he's finished. Stuart Broad should be taken out of the Academy right now."
Rob Chard in the TMS inbox
Should be on tomorrow but depends if the Poms can hang in there.
Ok I'll try some XXXX Gold, virtual beer can kill me, can it????? Terry??????
G'day Benny,Quote:

Harmison's second ball is two feet outside off-stump and the Durham man is drawing some boos now. Whether from the Aussie or England fans, it's unclear.
Sweet revenge this.......
I'm at work. :DQuote:
