Happy Birthday Peter Siddle!:woot:

9th bowler to get an Ashes hatrick and 6 for 54 not a bad way to celebrate

Poms all out for 260.

Obviously hoping the England side will be victorious.

You need to factor in the weather - it's been suggested that summer here will be quite wet. We've seen some of it at the 'Gabba. I suspect it will be 2-1..Australia or England I'll decide tomorrow...

Agreed. Given the likely hood of a few days play being spoilt by rain I doubt there will be a result in all matches this time around. Here's hoping the rain stays away enough to get a result in all matches.

Yep...always presumed the weather would be hot and therefore no interruptions.

I'll change my 3-2 prediction to a win by a margin of 1.....for either side.

This was a typical England start to a test match. We hype it all out of proportion and totally mess it up at the beginning:damn:

I just hope we can bowl out Australia for less than 260 and put on a decent score afterwards. All we need is some good spin on the pitch, and our spin bowlers will do their job (so I'm hoping for a nice overcast day to help with spin).

I've got to get my jibes in while the going is good. It might not stay that way.:O:

...and that is precisely why I'm keeping my powder dry....a long way to go yet :DL

I will say this though...IMHO England are the better/more accomplished squad, man for man on paper.

The question is....how much better and is it enough to overcome home advantage?

honors are roughly even with the Aussies with a slight upper hand depending on how the 3rd day pans out. Ponting, North and Clarke fail with the bat but there were no stand out bowling performances from the Poms.

Hopefully Haddin and Hussey can go on with their good partnership and rack up a good lead tommorrow.

Must agree.....but Swann will be key at some point in this series if and when conditions change to suit spin.

He was a bit of a liability today. I personally don't rate him much in Australian conditions. Maybe the Sydney wicket will offer him something.

Could be a match deciding session when play resumes later, If England can claim a few quick boc wickets with the new ball then it's very much game on.

So Australia have a lead of 212, not that difficult to reach and pass we just need to dig in and put a decent score on, and the 1st test match is ours:D

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:47 AM.
