    Cricket Jim started one earlier but with him been banned i'll start another.

    Looks like Monty and Stokes are in.

    If it wasn't important that England won the toss already, then it is now.

    I mentioned earlier this week that Monty might get picked. I can see why he has been.

    Thats what comes with the professional salaries, they can't have it both ways. It would be interesting to see that stats about depression and mental illness in Cricket compared to other sports and non sporting professions.

    They're nearly at 300 so that's a first innings lead for them. Probably.

    I think if England can start quick tomorrow and get a early wicket then it might be a good innings for England with the ball.

    If they can wrap it up for about 350/400 they will think its been okay.

    They bowled well last night. Kept it tight.

    Managed to stay up for the duration! Day 1 finished even I reckon. If Carberry had held onto that catch int last few overs it'd slightly tip it in our favour IMO.

    Bowled well on a pitch that did very little indeed. Not a disaster losing the toss.

    Spin will be the key. So come on Swanny & Monty. Get us level and the top order get some big runs under your belt. Don't think there'll be a result either way due to the pitch.

    DRAW

    Aussies openers come out and said opposite Cunning Stunt. He says there will defiantly be a result.

    Personally think it could turn massive on day 4/5. England need to get a 100 run lead first innings min and maybe score at half a run quicker per over. If KP Bell or prior get in that should be a possibility. Think Cook and Root will like the pitch with it been short square.

    I think by the looks it will later on but I think initially it's that lifeless I think it'll be too late for a result! Hope I'm wrong like cos if spin is the key that should give us an edge

    Fingers crossed.
