I hate to pick at negative things but why has Strauss got a long on for Johnson, just don't understand it. His captaincy is a little baffling at times

Finn really struggling. We need to get him off, he looks injured

Good catch but yet again a pretty ordinary shot. He was playing so well, Haddin has given us a wicket there

Very, very stupid shot. Haddin had played well up until then

Great first day for England. Bowled them out for 268 and we bat 12 overs of the new ball without losing a wicket. Well done lads |

Freemantle Doctor, bouncy track, bumper barrages, Aussies maybe in the last chance saloon - all in all should add up to a great night"s viewing
For those who dunner know what the Freemantle Doctor is - its the wind that gusts from the bay at Perth. It doesnt usually take effect until mid afternoon - so they may be five down by then 
Watched it all night, and would have done an all dayer but its raining in the South Africa v India game
Another fine performance, although I didn"t think we bowled at our best
Strauss did well to keep that vicious lifter from Harris down
Crucial, not having to get a nightwatchman in, and starting with the full complement later tonight
GOOOOAAAARRRNNNN |

Always a good sign when Strauss plays down the ground, whenever he does that it's a sure sign he's looking good and feeling confident at the crease. *Touch Wood*

Here we go again, please don't let the 90's England return and collapse in a heap. Colly in now and every cricket fan knows what an awful starter he is

I cannot believe this. Though it was on the cards, Johnson bowled very well yesterday. Sort it out England.

In real strife now. Best we can hope for is to equal the Aussie score or at best 50 lead, either way we've squandered an opportunity

We started well but now a total collapse, Trott never looked confident at all with his batting, Pietersen out for 0. 98-5 now. :-( Collingwood out for 5.

Johnson has bowled really well, dropped his pace earlier on and got his accuracy back and has now found real confidence

Before this test started I couldn't see Australia winning the series mainly due the fact I couldn't see them taking 20 wickets as they didn't have a match winning bowler. Now their trump card has returned and we're going to have to do very well to regain the urn
Great time for Bell to not only break his Ashes ton duck but to show his doubters that he can make 100's when it really matters

It was an awesome ton from Gilchrist, but I couldn't watch it, it was torture watching it 4 years ago and after the morning we had I couldn't watch it again |

bloody hell. Another shit shot. Another 50 and out for Bell against Australia. This game is as good as gone. Australia won't bat as badly again. Same old England, we bottle it when we lead a series. Massive opportunity bottled by England. I thought this team had changed, but no same old fucking spineless England.
