Seems like Monty isn't going to be playing. Do we think we can do it? I do, don't know why but feeling pretty confident!! (england)
7/2 England OK, we were crap last time out but even so, 7/2? Hope that bet's still live by the end of the day . . .
I'm not confident. The Aussies have the momentum and look like they're finding some form. The best i see us getting is a draw.
Lose/Lose situation.... Bowling first. Yep, i know, the Oval is well known for having a pitch that gets worse and is uneven/turns towards days 4 and 5, which puts pressure on the team batting last.... however, have you seen the weather?</p> Today and tomorrow is completely overcast, ideal for swing bowling, and the weekend is set for glorious sunshine. Try and get the Aussies out in these conditions cheaply is probably the best chance of winning this game.</p> Bat first. As stated above, the pitch always becomes uneven and starts to turn at the Oval towards days 4 and 5.</p> Prediction: Aussies to retain. Draw. </p>
Wait for it, Dave Soon. Actually Bopara's not playing so you never know, we might be able to put some runs on for the second wicket.
1st hour gone... shame Cook has gone. Bit worried how Bell is batting but been a decent morning so far...
My 7/2 bet is suddenly giving me a bit of value for money Wasn't looking good an hour or so ago. And Katich out now!!!
