OK, we know there's going to be one, and I haven't started a thread in a while. I was actually quite close with my prediction on England's first innings total for Test three too.
Discuss the forthcoming test here>>
Meantime, here's a link to the match card of previous 4th Test for us to mull over between England and Australia, this one from February 1883 in Sydney, Australia.

I see the Ozzies are trying to pull the old "Oh no, McGrath's injured!" trick again. Sigh. Like England will go "Phew! We can win this!" but magically, tomorrow, the physio will have miraculously healed poor old McG and England will go "Oh no! He's back! We're doomed!" and lose. Yeah right, like we're going to fall for that one. :roll:

I just realized: there's an entire <a href="http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewforum.php?f=4">Test Forum</a> with not a single thread related to Cricket! Shameful!

What's all this "rain?" I spent all afternoon on the coast path between Bull point and Morte Point in North Devon and I've come home having to smear after-sun all over my face and balding head. I propose that all test matches should henceforth be held in the Westcountry (defined as any point including and to the west of Swindon).

He was out caught. He got a big underside edge onto the boot. So long as it gets caught before ball touched ground that's out.mikk wrote:The rain is easing off and the sun is shining but a lot of cloud about. With a bit of luck 350+ for one by teatime. Pity about Andrew Strauss's BBW (Boot Before Wicket)
I once saw someone hit a fierce shot straight at gully. It hit him on the boot and rebounded all the way to square leg where it was caught. Result: batsman out caught, gully replaced with a fractured foot.
The match seems just about evenly poised right now. Should be interesting today.

I just knew I'd be corrected on this one Oh Well I was wrong on the other count as well "350+ for one by teatime"Wombat wrote:He was out caught. He got a big underside edge onto the boot. So long as it gets caught before ball touched ground that's out.
Looks like a full day's play today. Any predictions on how many runs the Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Flintoff's partnership will produce. MMMmmm should be at least 150 ish (I hope). I think Shaun Tait's bowling will be the danger! Oh Well Here we go !!
I can expect the situation to improve not worsen !!

The partnership produced a measly 28 - Pietersen gone already. Boo Hoo !

All that talk of Melton Mowbray pork pies on TMS has made me feel hungry.
344-5 at lunch, with Flintoff and Jones steadily building a partnership to repair the damage of losing Pietersen early on. Slowly moving back in England's favour, I think.
Anyway - I reckon it's about time I did some work today.
