England have got to bat the day I reckon, to have a chance at drawing. Cook and Stokes probably have to do it on their own til at least most of the middle session.

Hope Australia bat first tonight. The last two Ashes series imo have been spoilt somewhat by the home team mostly winning the tosses, and obviously choosing to bat, which was most advantageous. I want to see a fair go throughout this series for both teams.

Did anyone watch Have you been paying attention? last night? There was a question that featured Joe Root. They showed the contestants a picture of him grinning, after Cook got knocked int he balls. The host asked why he was smiling? I think it was Ed Kavalee who responded with "Shane Watson's...

There's always an excuse with Haddin.

I thought you were talking about Australia in the 2013/14 Ashes?

My guess would be the gearbox.

You're going 160 on the highway???

Nothing to do with the topic. But found out Craig Keiswetter has prematurely retired due to an eye injury. Poor ****, that's nasty.

I honestly have no idea.

Got nothing to say, really.

Nup. @futureblackcap how much publicity did a NZer get for being part of a Le Mans winning team over there? NZer in 2nd pace too!

Enjoyed that Warner was gone for a blob. Now Watson gone.

That was a huge surprise to hear on radio news, let me tell you.

The series is seen as a prelude to The Ashes. But for NZ, it's preparation to knock off Australia in the summer.

Australia now having a history of WA journeymen scoring tons on debut.
