Hugely enjoyable day watching England bowl. Not surprised Johnson got Bell out before day end though, he looked literally shit-scared of him before lunch on the first day with constant chest height balls and a total inability to deal with them!

 

Strauss is still in and Trott is eager to prove his worth, plus Prior, Broad and Flintoff still to come.. if we can hold off the initial onslaught for a while tomorrow morning we'll be just fine.

Over 450 ahead at teatime day 2! What a result!

 

I really hope Trott gets his 100, nobody deserves it more. Swann seems to be enjoying himself too.. :)

 

o yes great day but england will need 350 i feel

350 ahead would've been difficult for the Aussies, the strip is destroyed and Swann is a more competent spinner than anything the Aussies can offer.. but 450 and rising? They're going to need a *massive* innings to retain the Ashes now.

amazing how overnight the boys have forgotten how to bowl......whats with all this short wide four balls they keep on bowling....

 

if they carry on bowling this trash then it would be wise NOT to write the aussies off.....

Why Harmison even started I have no idea. He's just gash. Occasional good ball but so many sloppy deliveries.

 

If they let Katich and Watson dig in, with the strength that Australia have at #3, #4 and #5, they'll happily make the *mere* ~470 they need to win.

 

Need an early wicket tomorrow. Swann needs to deliver for sure.

102/2 now.....finally broad and swann in the bowling attack :)

 

If they bowl tight then the aussies are going to crack under pressure and a deteriorating wicket.

Ponting is the decisive wicket imo. If he'd been allowed to get 100 we would've been under huge pressure - well bloody played Freddie!

 

Just a case of "cleaning up" now, I hope. Swann is bowling superbly but not getting much luck.. as Warne said in his commentary, his rewards will come for sure.

If they keep a strangle on the runs and build the pressure - wickets will no doubt follow.

 

Weve done very well to get rid of Ponting and the dangerous Clarke.......The key is hussey....he is another match winner.......
