Right.Terrible decision. Doctrove is a poor umpire, but consistently so...
People are outside praying for rain!
Harmison's taken 5 wickets again. I wonder if they'll consider recalling him for the next test?
One of the spinners will be replaced for sure, but I wonder if it'll be by Onions or Harmison.

Two South Africans to save the day.
How long will this rain last for do we know?
A lot rests on Strauss showing some of the batting form and confdence of earlier in the year.

Please just keep on raining.
Not to take anything away from Onions but here at home in England and in form, i expect it to be Harmison. Been all the talk as well.
What a joke 20 for 2 it will be all over if we are not up to the fight more
The Bopara LBW was a joke
Let's just hope it keeps raining and Cardiff floods for the next two days
Fair point but still we are going to have to work bloody hard to save this match.
To be honest only rain can save us now.
the Bopara decision was rubbish.
the poms can only hope for the rain from here.

I'm into North, quality player. Probably the only player I actually genuinely like in our side ATM.
EDIT: Scrap that, quite like Katich and now Hughes too.

1 day, started Wednesday
A bit of water won't go amiss in Cardiff, give it a bit of a wash.
oh dear
Got Him Yesss!
I like the draw price on Betfair
Useless ****
*head in hands*
Annoying how the sky pundits were saying the Aussie spinner was average yet he has got 4 wickets and both of our spinners have got one between them.
FFS at this rate ,it will be all over by Lunch.
If there is now rain we have no chance of saving the game.

The draw price is 3/1 now
Shall I go in hmmm
Shall I go in hmmm
Idiot
How is this useless idiot able to get ANY wickets, let alone wickets in an ashes test match? I despair at our lack of mental toughness I really do.
These two have to bat for a few hours for us to have a slight chance now. What the feck was Prior doing? Useless
I told you they'd win. Let's be honest, I'm always right, even when I'm wrong.
England have been farcical in this test, fancy fecking it up 425 was a decent 1st innings.
Haha i like how you lot seem to act suprised.
We've been doing this for years.
We're England FFS
Ah.

Nah, it was a par score on this track.
I can still see us getting a draw. I am positive.
I thought it was good considering it looked like we struggle to get 350 at one point. Can Collingwood save the day and force a draw?
Nah. I hope he does, but I just can't see it.
....I'm about 18 miles from the Swalec Stadium and we've had heavy showers all morning.Unless it rains we're doomed!
Agreed on that flat track they should of got more ,the Aussie score was more like it.
Dreafull not a good game need to win 3 out of the next 4 tests now to win the Ashes . very hard to do.
In this match, every Aussie player from 1 - 11, apart from maybe Hussey who will get better, has been far better than the equivalent English player.
The Aussie Captain is head and shoulders better than Englands and the professional attitude of the team is streets ahead of Englands.
I was hopefully optimistic before the series but now I'll be amazed if we win a test match before the series is decided. We might sneak a dead rubber at the end of the series.

Don't know why they were having a go at the guy who came on the field. Personally I'd have handed him a bat, he couldnt be any worse.
