I couldnt agree more stop feckin about England!!

Well done Jonathan Trott, only the third South African to make a century on debut for England.

It's a could job we have these South African lads.........we'd be up sh*t creek without them!

Time to declare.

For christs sake declare

[size=200NOW [/size

Jesus wept, there's two days play as well as 2 hours tonight. Nothing to panic about yet

Trott out and we have declared

So Australia need 546 in 6 and a half sessions.

Doable.

So lets stick them in after a long day in the field with the crowd half cut

Freddie with the first over and the crowd going ' barmy '

Lets get this show on the road England

I'm struggling to think of a better hundred, under that pressure from an England batsmen in years.

Class.

KP four, Trott five, Prior six looks good moving forward to SA.

Breathroughs tonight, please.

10 wickets to win the Ashes. Come on England, use this hour or so, make Sunday one hell of a nervous day for the Aussies!

Replace Cook with Stephen Moore and Ian Bell with Faf du Plessis and we'll have an all-South African top 6!!

My intial reaction was that Jimmy Anderson had got Shane Watson LBW but the reply showed it was the correct decision and a tad too high...

The pitch appears to have died abit so it looks like it's going to be very hard work for us

Keep Harmison on for too long and the Aussies could have it wrapped on for tea tomorrow.

The way they are scoring it will be done tonight

I can imagine the reaction in the media if we lose this match

Who at three?

The best no. 3 in England: Mark Ramprakash!

Oh for a start tomorrow like Onions gave us on day 2 at Edgbaston, unfortunately he's been dropped for the myth of that bottle-less waste of skin Harmison, good move that.

=white[size=9There, if that doesn't result in him picking up some wickets tomorrow nothing will.[/size

Am I the only one a tad nervous that, knowing Ponting, he's due a double hundred and they'll win?

Or England get 9, the last two hang on and the clouds decide to chuck their load on Monday?

Or England will actually pull it off?

Im a little nervous too now that the pitch seems to have calmed down a bit.
I just hope freddie can make it a "last" test to remember and go out with a bang

i don't think we can bat for 2 days for a draw.or get the runs to win. maybe our hope is for rain

I too am nervous having watch Australia win on poor strips in the past.

Can't believe we declared.

That pitch looks to offer nothing now.

They can still do it I'm afraid.


Come on England. Please.

where is the predictable rain in england when you want it
