Re: Cricket
341 - 5 at the finish, I think I would have taken that at the start of play today.

A good day's cricket, very pleased to see the England team in fighting mood. Vaughan, Trescothick and Bell have done well, Pieterson unfortunately and sadly caught out too soon but he tried hard and Strauss gets his usual 6 why is this man in the team? Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Re: Cricket
Well it seems England had the "good batting side" at the crease today.
I wonder if they'll bring them along again tomorrow...?

Only if we don't lose early wickets tomorrow morning, sometimes the batsmen have to remember it is a five day test and occasionally play like Ian Bell.

Re: Cricket
It was a good toss to win my concern is what happens when the convicts bat? We'll see what our bowling attack is made of on this pitch, when Glenn McGrath struggles (he was unlucky having so many catches dropped and the no ball when he "bowled" Vaughan) then it doesn't bode well for our bowlers. Did he come back too early from that injury?
Pietersen still has that one day cricket mentality when he bats, bit like Flintoff used to be. Flintoff is now learning how to bat in test cricket and he is a better player for it a lot of that is down to Fletcher's coaching.

Re: Cricket
Well 444 all out is not a bad score by any means and there were definitely some good innings in there (ok with a bit of luck, but that's cricket)
Now the question is can England get their good fielding side on the pitch...?

I think the Aussies will make the follow on target (especially given their performance in the last Test), hopefully, though, the England team will be able to put on a good score to leave the Aussies 250+ to win.

Re: Cricket
I would not enforce the follow on, get a quick 250/300 and give them 450/500 to get on a wearing pitch.
