Heh, I hate being a gutless bastard, i was thinking that Australia wouldn't make much more than 300, but when i saw all those predictions of 350+ scores in the sweepstake I decided to keep my mouth shut.
**** me how crucial was that Haddin drop? Basically accounts for the entire first innings deficit.

Yeah on further thought I don't think Haddin will get dropped because it would be viewed as a conceding a psychological advantage. Plus it could easily be his last series.
Who knows, maybe he'll turn it around, but he does look well short of his best and is definitely a liability at present.

If we score 200 this should be a win. Might help if we do get bowled out for 200-250 as we can wrap it up tomorrow then before the rain on Sunday.

A bit like the first test v NZ, same start in first innings and did very well after.

Haha, oh, it was a joke?
In that case I give that post my highest ever rating (7 thumbs up).

Watson should go, especially given 1. he's not bowling enough and 2. the wickets will presumably quicken up, but he has the feel of a ****roach.
Haddin will survive until the end of the series I feel. Should be dropped even if he scored runs this innings, we probably win if he holds onto the Root catch.

I meant for his career, but yeah badly worded.

Nope, he's spot on

Hes already under 30 for his career.
Said at the time that 430 would prove to be a very good score and England would have been lucky to make 200 if Haddin had taken that catch

Not sure Mark Nicholas really counts as a Pom these days and Vaughan is just as bad as the rest of the 9 crew........it really is horrible listening. I take it Fox sports would have the sky crew on? Seriously thinking of forking out 50 bucks so I don't have to put up with these dire ****sI think I've heard more Poms than Aussies commentate on Nine, tbh.
