The Fifth Test

[Matt the Shrimp]

Has Warne ever bowled within the first hour of a Test match before...?!

Come on England, 9 off Shane's first over.

Goin along at 5 an over at the moment, seems almost desperation already to bring Warne on this early!

 

[blues_r_best]

Banger out

 

[The General]

Called it.

Almost desperation, but not quite. Perhaps inspiration instead...?

Warne comes up with his 29th wicket of the summer... the swine!

 

[C C Csiders]

A great start nonetheless. Be good to take it through these last 35 minutes to lunch without further damage.

Well I guess not many teams can get away with bringing their spinner on after an hour of the first day on a fast, bouncy pitch!

A good strike from Strauss brings up the hundred. We need to get to lunch without losing any more wickets now...!

Aargh!!!

Feckin Warne again!

Vaughan out for 11... 102/2

Bugger, Vaughan has gone for 11 after a rash shot. Come on England, don't collapse on us now!

Something tells me this could be a 10 for. Warne is the only threat I feel. A first innings of at least 400 as a bare slightly below-par minimum is required here. Runs are going to be scored at a high tempo. Sensible batting from here to close please.

 

[Guest]

This is ridiculous. We're gonna be all out for 200 at this rate. Bell LBW to Warne.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Out for a duck... shocker.

Shaaaaane's morning.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Bloody Warne, at least this will be the last time we have to face him!

 

[Guest]

115-3 at lunch. We need to be a bit more careful in the afternoon session I think

2nd innings yet. I repeat I sense a 10 for, for Warney here.

Strauss needs to go onto 3 figures from here. One of Pietersen, Flintoff and Collingwood also needs to score 3 figures I feel to get to 400+

Well yeah still got the second innings unfortunately! I agree I think he'll get 10, none of the bowlers seem to be doing anything though so we just need to try and score of them!

Bloody Bell letdown again!! I said at the start of the series when everyone was debating between Thorpe & Pieterson that we should play both and drop Bell. I have seen nothing this series to make me change my mind!

Bell averaging only 19 now for the series. In saying that Martyn, Hayden and Gilchrist are only averaging 21's and 22's. Who would have thought that?

Think he (Bell) needs a big 2nd innings score to get the dubious pleasure of a trip to Pakistan.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Peitersen bowled Warne for 14.

131-4

Need Struass to stick around and Freddie to smash Warne out of the attack!
