    Haddin (the wicketkeeper) broke his finger during warm up - after the toss - and we have let them make a change when we needn't have.

    But if we won the test against ten players Australia would have something to use against us. I'd rather us win properly 11 on 11.

    yes we are. with aussies 126-1, they will make 500, then bowl us out twice for 240 ish. and then people will complain about strauss's decision. he should have rodded them off. he will regret that decision. the turning point of the ashes. you mark my words. this test will be over in 3 1/2 days, weather permitting.

    Aye, we are too soft by a country mile! </p>

    I can't see Ricky Pontin making a similar gesture. </p>

    Can You?

    In which case...

    the Aussies will have deserved to win so there could be no complaints. Sporting decision everytime otherwise what's the point? Why not just cheat?

    Agreed

    Definately the right decision. He's got a genuine injury and if something happened like that to England we would expect the same decision from Aus.

    I don't think they will make 500, it's just a hunch though.
