[awesome dawson]

As do I. Don't think I've missed a day and I always turn up on here to let you lot have your fun.

Which we appreciate.

The guys I work with in Melbourne are hating me talking about a golden era for British sport.

Watson out LBW, who'da thought it !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Superted]

Watson out LBW, who'da thought it !!!!!!!!!!!

Stolen from elsewhere:

Fun fact:

That's the tenth time in 18 innings against England Watson has been out LBW – and the first time since August 2009 that he's not referred it

 

[markysimmo]

Swann is bowling so so well, virtually unplayable to the leftties

 

[Superted]

That's Dave Warner's brother for those who can't tell.

Man on the pitch collecting champagne corks from the outfield, only at Lords hahaha

Do all three and Kate plonks out the baby - I think your country will have a collective orgasm

 

[P.D.]

Very interesting stuff about the camera angles on catches at tea.

I was convinced (despite what the commentators were saying) that he just picked it up. Having heard the discussion at tea, I think he may have caught it (not that the 3rd ump could be anywhere near 100% sure though).

That was clearly out and the 3rd umpire had a shocker there.

I don't understand why more players don't use their feet to play spin, all the best players of spin do so maybe they should learn something.

Not another one, been loads of them past 2 years

Looks like Clarke is going to go out fighting, I do love watching him bat, real classy player reminds me of Mark Waugh, saw quite a lot of Waugh when he played at Essex

 

[Richie]

Root has some talent with the ball

 

[markysimmo]

6 down at tea, easy, easy, easy, easy

Wahoooooooooooooooooo the Aussies got 200 !!!

 

[Richie]

Australian top order batting really is a shambles. Aside from Clarke, they don't have another batsman averaging over 40.

 

[markysimmo]

Pattinson looks a really good bat, in fact all of the lower order has done pretty well, as Richie said its the top order who are a total joke..
