England are fucking brilliant at allowing lower order batsmen to make big partnerships
Took the shine off an otherwise good day

We've wasted a good 15 overs waiting for the new ball and it's cost us.

Looking at these pair cope easily makes me think they've fucked up and shouldn't be 6 down. They shouldn't. 3 or 4 were sloppy batting. It is a minimum 350 pitch (minimum); so we're still well in with a shout of winning it (weather depending). But we should be well in control and aren't mainly because Haddin and Johnson stood up and were counted (unlike the previous 6).

Harris stood up well (shame) - with a couple of little risks So, it'll be a niggly ten overs or so tomorrow - I always hate it; much better for our batters to come out fresh. Shame we couldn't skittle these last two, tonight. Still, that's only taking a little bit of shine from what has been a belting opening day for us. They will be muttering darkly into their pints of p1ss, tonight Standing ovation (not) for ________ medium pacer ... keep sticking it to 'em owd son! (fair play, Haddin, they were dead and buried without you)

On a side note.....just been reading the BBC cricket website and Pietersen is being hailed as England's "Best ever player" .......really that's one hell of an accolade considering the company he is keeping when making a comparison. Does anybody agree with this, I'm not sure that I do. In fact I don't agree with it.

Disappointing but only because we started so well. I think we'd all have have 270 odd for 8 at the start.
And for anyone that can wait to see the score, on Radio Sport Extra (if You've got it) they're replaying the Test in real time from 11am, like it's a Test over here.

Yes they are, Bish ... but I reckon you are right and that a draw is most likely if the weather interuptions happen as expected. Difficult until tomorrow mid day, when we'll get a detailed forcast for Saturday and Sunday ... that forecast should tell us whether a result is possible. www.weatherzone.com.au/qld/brisbane/brisbane/detailed-forecast <---- Detailed forecast for next 48 hours. Warney gives Session-1 as 50:50, given Broads last gasp wicket. I would agree with him (just wish we'd got Warner instead). Been a good start (for both teams, if I am honest)Ham and cheese sarnies - and a cuppa - for me lunch Early morning snack for me ....packet of Walkers Crisps , glass of Old Speckled Hen and a possible dram of Highland Park to follow ....pretty similar really ... Well there is a surprise.

So how many of the current Australian side would get in that England side?
Clarke for Root. Watson for Carberry maybe (for his bowling)? Siddle for Tremlett?
Would that be it?
