5 out all out :(

Thats even with Flintoff in the team, cant imagine how bad it would be without him and just another bowler! :blink:

Will be a miricle if we get to 300.

I am glad my 8000th post was in the Ashes thread laughing that this batting lineup where the guy coming in six down has an average of 9.

LOL @ Mitchell. Superb.

McGrath and Lee awesome. Should be some swing for the English bowlers.

Have to question Ponting here, he seems scared of Flintoffs reputation. The ball is still newish and theres a big chance he could get Flintoff out if they just bowl normally, yet they seem to have given up on getting Flintoff out (or hoping he hauls out in the deep).

If he isnt careful here he may let Flintoff tick England upto 350+ which would be a very decent score on a pitch that has seamed with old and new ball throughout.

I don't see why Ponting's so scared of him. He's been mostly dire in this series, in every department. Not impressed.

I wouldn't say the pitch has seamed much, really. It's a very good batting track. The new ball has done a bit but that will probably fade as the game goes on, and there's not that much turn around yet. There's been some swing this morning of course, so Anderson might get some joy if he takes the new ball.

It's certainly not a road, but anything under 400 is sub-par IMO.

Anyway, Lee and McGrath were just sensational this morning I thought. Best spell Lee has bowled in some time. Possibly since Boxing Day last year. Could easily have had more than the two wickets.
