Too right mate. No harm no foul.

So much so he emigrated to Godzown.

Looking like the Aussie batsmen are liking this tame pitch so far. 249 for the loss of only one after the poms were bowled out for 435. I'd say this one is headed for a draw unless one side makes a breakthrough in the next days play.

Fully agree, the pitch may yet turn though. I saw a few areas of assistance to the spinners (which is probably why each side chose two).

What the series so clearly needs is one or two performances from the small number of world class players available for selection.....otherwise I fear we are in for an uneventful period ahead.

That is unless the Welsh weather doesn't turn against us. Looks like rain is forecast. What a surprise on the British Isles.

Forecast is for rain....which would probably be welcomed by England.
