First time we've ever made 500/1
And Cook has batted longer than any other Englishman in Oz.

The best ever individual score at The Gabba. Beating Bradman's record, well done Alastair. Also the best ever partnership at The Gabba then we get to 500 with 1 down for first time. So that's three records gone in one over.
So that's 2 successive tests where Jonathan Trott has been involved in a 300 partnership.

Looking good. Keep the fuckers out all day in the sun? Or get em in and try and knock a couple down?

This is just brilliant to watch! So jealous of the fans who are there, they look like they're having the time of their lives!
Trott and Cook take a bow, batting masterclass here, some beautiful shots and a furious Ponting, what couls be better?!

We could have won.....You asked.

And another record goes. The highest partnership for an England pair in Australia. How many records have been broken over the past couple of days? Must be a dozen at least

Hopefully we cna get a couple of early wickets, anything can happen but I think taking ten wickets before the end of the day on this sort of pitch is nothing short of an impossible task

i would love it if we can manage to bowl out because they would be absolutely slaughtered by their press if we win. Come on England

I think they'll be slaughtered in the press anyway. Questions will be asked, fingers will be pointed

It'll be the worst thing that could happen, they may drop Johnson!

I hate when KP does that, he's always throwing when there's no need to

I hate when KP does that, he's always throwing when there's no need to No doubt he'll be thinking he was right to do that and won't apologise to Jimmy or the side for an act of stupidity That's KPs downfall, his ridiculous level of sheer arrogance

Wonder what was said between Jimmy and Watson ;D There's always someone in the opposition that our team doesn't like, with South Africa it's Smith, India it's Yuvraj and with this Aussie team it's Watson. To be fair you can't blame them, he makes KP look humble. Plus the fact he looks like a blonde rat doesn't help his appeal. By the sounds of it the Aussie media don't like him either ;D

That'll do nicely, 1st test drawn at the so called "Gabbatoir"

Ryan Harris and Doug Bollinger added to the Aussie squad and cricinfo hinted that Hilfenhaus as well as Johnson could be dropped

We did very well. Each morning i woke and checked the score expecting that we had some how cocked it up but we batted excellently. Hopefully they will give Johnson a second chance!!!!

Start of the 2nd Test tonight.
Apparently England have only won 2 times in the last 55 years in Adelaide. Hopefully they can do a bit better than last time when they declared on 550 odd in the first innings and still lost!!

Its tomorrow night mate, doesnt start until Friday, the groundsman is being a bit of a twat not covering the nets etc so England cant practice, and he has sai he is going to prepare a result wicket...
Cant see it myself, he will probably leave a green top on it, but get through the first session and it will turn into another batsmans paradise, would be disapointed if we didnt some away with at least another draw.

No surprise about Johnson. Interesting choice if Hilfenhaus is dropped. From what i've seen of Harris he will add a bit more pace than Hilfenhaus. Would that be right Joe? I've only seen Harris bowl about half a dozen times.
