Quiet!
98 to Pietersen's. He's got one over before tea. Go on!
How many overs are remaining for the day?
Nice one Neal 
Woohoo! What a century!
50

49 I think. But 2 will be lost for the changeover when/if the Aussies get to bat.

If England crosses the 240 mark before getting bowled out, they stand a better chance of winning this test.
That's tea.

The light won't hold for 50 overs. I can see the Betfair blimmp from my office and there is a lot of cloud moving in.
Looking Busy said:
Yes, but the Aussies will get offered the light first and they'll play on. Say they get 40 overs to get 240. That's exactly 6 an over. I still wouldn't bet against them gettting close. There have been so many twists and turns in this series that I can imagine one or two more before close of play.
Can you feel it chaps?
Can you feel the ashes coming home, right here to England

If it gets too dark and England have Flintoff and Harmy steaming in the Umpires can decide to take the players off. The umpires also need to be able to see the ball. How can they give decision if they can't see it

Not yet, but there is a beautiful rain cloud just crossing the top of my office going towards the Oval
Brilliant.. All though we can do this no matter what the weather..

I know but that bit of insurance is always nice.
Flintoff and Warne have got to share the man of the series trophy
Agree to the Warne and Flintoff point.
We've already got insurance, £20 of my own money on the Aussi's

Money well spent
For once I wouldn't be pissed off about losing a bet, so indeed it would be money well spent.
Only thing is, I have work at 6 so I will be missing the most important part
Hopefull England will bat for another hour. That will kill the game, even if the aussies come out to bat the conditions will be so much in favour of the bowlers, just like yesterday
It would be interesting of Vaughan makes a cheeky declaration after tea.

Not for at least another 20 overs. Leave the Aussies needing in excess of 7 or 8 an over

I just hope my winnings will go a few celebration bevvies rather than comiseration ones!

I get a feeling the chances that you'll be celebrating are growing....
234-7. That's a lead of 240 with 45 overs left. If the Aussies take a hat-trick now that'll leave 43. Two overs are lost to the changeover. That's 240 off 41 overs which is 5.9 an over just about. England need to bat another 10 overs to make absolutely sure.
Even if we are out in 3 ball now, it's run a ball terrirtory for the Aussie. My confidence is growing very very slowly
Sorry Mojo, i just said exactly what you did 5 minutes earlier. didn't read your post
S'alright LB. Pietersen's just about put the game beyond the Aussies with a couple of sixes and a four.
I've just put a bottle of champagne in the fridge...
Why was this moved? Bet it was a bird or bitter Wibble....
Where are the Aussies now?

Yianni Arvani is the worst... Always crowing when they're winning, not to be seen when they're not.

I'd hate to not have an identity strong enough to know where my support belongs.
KP should go all out for 200 now... Just for the entertainment value.
I'm fecking well happy.
Off out to celebrate later.
Off out to celebrate later.
Come on KP... You know you want a double century!

It's cricket. I couldn't give a shit about it plus i don't know much about it. But seeing as you are all tossing over it, then what a perfect opportunity to wind a few idiots up.My work is done.

Not really, generally we get wound up when we're losing
Unlike now.
