    Tipped pies and Saints.

    Hawkeye: More fallible than they'd like us to think.

    Disagree. Snicko can be flawed if they mess up the sync, but the technology of a directional mike is pretty simple, and the reading on an ossiciliscope of a ball hitting bat is markedly different from bat hitting pad or ground or ball hitting pad - or indeed ball hitting nothing.

    Hawkeye: More fallible than they'd like us to think.

    Hmmm, when they can build a robot that can successfully bat against Warne or Steyn, based on a system of cameras, and a computer program telling it where the ball is going to go, I'll accept that the simulation of an elite humans eye and brain has been developed. Until then, I'd say the best...

    Australia are well placed here. Can hopefully go on for the win. :ph34r:

    what a pathetic comment. Leigh did as good a job as anyone in quelling Johnno in recent weeks. When Demetriou has got to the stage of bagging out individual players rather than admit there might be a probelm with the incentives teams have to lose, he's completely lost the plot. Disagree. He's...

    Think he would have been suggesting both KP and Fred might have been rather better had they been fully fit, and that they'd more likely have been fit if they'd concentrated on their recovery rather than going to play a silly tourney.

    yeah, been great seeing Rhyce do well in Sydney. Missed the Demtriou comment. Presume it was as sensible and accurate as all of his comments re the tanking issue.

    Was mostly a horrible match to watch tonight - the defensive pressure from both sides and the numbers back made for a pretty ugly affair. That said, twas a pleasure watching Didak esp. and Swan do their stuff. Wood played his best match to date, and it was great watching a match where we won...

    *Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

    Strauss should resign as skipper honestly, off the back of this. Disasterous performance with the ball - worse than the batting. How did Swann and Onions take so long to get a bowl? Why is no-one telling Harmison to bowl a proper length, or Broad a proper line? That was in all seriousness the...

    Gives rise to the best line ever. Would you be interested in a tree branch? No? How about a root? [/hat and coat]

    *Official* Fourth Test at Headingley

    That was yesterday, with the names reversed. Aus all out just before tea, 200 ahead. Poms 2 down at close of play. All out by tea day 3. Aussies knock off the 40 runs required for victory without loss.

    What a session from the Aussies! My dream has come half true already! England are gone. Broad is a joke! Woot!!!!!

    Didn't realise professional players did that before a match. Is it a nerves thing?

    Agree with F.o.S. Bit silly for Colly to be stuck as keeper if foster or whoever can be there by the first drinks break.
