A little hope ... just a little. The storm due a bit later tonight may (50:50 by the look of it) now hang around for some of the morning ... possibly (although less than 50:50) until lunch. Cross those fingers

Perth is a quickies wicket isn't it? God help us, hopefully Johnson will get a couple of wickets and then keep tripping over his dick for the rest of the match?

It is , we need a bit of luck and win the toss there .....hopefully bat first and post a decent score and for the first time put them under some pressure by trying to fight fire with a bit of fire .....we have nobody with Johnson's pace , but Broad can if he bends his back get up around 90mph and dish his own brand of short stuff out .....Finn also must play and be let to have his head ,he can be pretty hostile at around 90 as well on his day , we have to risk him giving a few runs away .....but they have been making big totals anyway , so that should not the main concern

He's not got that aggressive streak though has he - when it comes to fighting fire with fire? Just hope Prior can play himself into a bit of form (which means he'll probably be caught hooking on the square leg boundary first over), and Anderson can get his old rhythm back. (Don't know how bad his sledging must have been in the last couple of series but that's some grudge that Johnson's been harbouring?) If it wasn't for Cook's dreadful shot, Johnson would have been wicketless today. Bell's one hander off Smith was astonishingly bad as well, especially after his words of the previous evening? 2 of our last 4 wickets today are Anderson and Monty, so at least you'll have a comparatively early night for a change!

I'd take another late one if it meant we could squeeze out a draw .....wishful thinking though

If nothing else tonight I'd like to see Prior, Broad and Swann go at Johnson and show no fear, another 70/80 runs in the morning playing positive cricket and then a big fuck of freaky storm for the rest of the day will do me nicely....

Pissing down at the minute Trouble with Australia is: A. It never pisses down all day. B. as soon as it stops, it's bone dry again 5 minutes later! We don't really deserve any help from the weather mate - I'd take it though!

You put the cricket on, looking forwards all day to it, really hoping that you're not going to be able to watch any cricket. Madness!
