care to enlighten those of us who cannot see it :mellow:
Was a quite cynical view on coaching, that it's a really hard and important job. Firstly you have take notes on the opposition, then type it up with heaps of colours and codes, then photocopy it and then slip it under the door of someone in the medias hotel room. He said it all with a deadpan expression as well.

10.15am To confirm, it's dull but play still set to start at 11am. Mopping up continues, and there will be more waterworks when Australia take to the field for the last time with Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Justin Langer. I watched Seabiscuit today - great film - and my wife cried buckets ... dare so there will be plenty of moist eyes as three Australian legends bid farewell ...

Haha right in the box there.

:ph34r: yeah saw that... cruel to be laughing imo. Did you manage to catch the speed of it?

lol @ Cric-info's commentary...

1.1 Lee to Cook, no run, swings in, right on the button ... well, right on something and Cook goes down on his haunches in discomfort and a grinning Lee follows through ... inside edge into a delicate area

good signs for Lee there.... went like a bullet though, a fielder at 4th slip would've had trouble catching it

This wicket looks really good. If you get after making a start then you should be kicking yourself.

England really riding their luck so far. Looks like a real belter though, especially with the sun out.

McGrath's third over was one of his best for the series. Absolutely brilliant.
