Superb camera work picking out that las in the crowd at that exact moment 
So the weather forecast then, how's that looking?
Rain in the morning and sun in the afternoon
Dang, England will have to bat out about 140 overs on a pitch that does seem to be keeping low, not gonna happen.

What was she doing?
It's pretty good.
Take back my thoughts about thinking this is a decent pitch. The fact we made over 300, having our top order knocked over for next to nothing, suggests this is very flat.
If ever this England team was to be capable of batting out well over a hundred overs, this is the pitch to do it.
Most recent forecasts I've seen suggest we should get the overs in, so it very much looks like 1-1, unless Clarke is silly with the declaration, or England bat better than currently looks realistic.

Have to say, I like Alastair Cook.
One of the great plodders of the modern game. Takes a lot of shit, but the man has supernatural powers of concentration.
Thinking of other players who played like him -- Dravid comes to mind, who else?
Trott, Collingwood?..
Cook and Dravid the obvious standouts..

Chanderpaul trumps them all when it comes plodding around and boring people to death.
Starc is going to hoop the feck out of one before lunch, isn't he
I suspect we're going to have 5 flat decs this summer. What's wrong with cricket boards thesedays?
They want money and also England are a bit scared of what our bowlers can do.
Nah, it's not just this series but pitches have become flatter in the last 10-15 years.
Still Money tbh as a 5 day test = 5 days of pay.
Lyth ffs learn to fecking leave those deliveries!!
England in trouble again...
Cook ffs!
That delivery!
Match looks gone but both these two have a bit to prove, here.
Another Mitchell takes a wicket! Terrific delivery to start up.
All three dismissals have been exactly the same.
Barring a miracle, this series will be 1-1.
Not convinced by Ballance at all despite the good record.
Watson's career is surely finished given how Mitchell Marsh has performed.
Poor from Bell. Good delivery but you have to look to score some runs instead of just blocking.
Where's Paul Collingwood when you need him?
Slide you fool!!
Criminal from Stokes.
You lazy twat stokes, slide your bat!!?!????!?? Aaaagggghhhhhhh
England players must fancy the day off
The drop in standard by England in all facets of the game since Cardiff has been startling, guess it's to be expected with a young-ish side.
EDIT: Within reason of course mind, the drop off from Cardiff is just unacceptable.
Tennis is going well.
Be fair mate, they spent loads of time naming the Sydney opera house and their various states.
