I reckon we've already lost it Shah. The England players look as though they've bottled it.   Inexcusable, given the position we were in after Siddle was out.

hohoho, well done aussies, you're the greatest of all time no way will pattinson get out now.

95~5 in favour of england now. poms should ice the champanges now for celebration

Blimey Anderson injured  

This is now looking very dangerous...one ball will do it , but where is it coming from ?

Must attack Pattinson more ...maiden from Swann but Patto still there.

Fifteen minutes to lunch.

JDizzle wrote:Anderson off injured. Oh bum.

Thats probably the final nail in England's coffin for this match.

I'm expecting the Four Kangaroos of the Apocalypse to come bouncing onto the pitch at any moment.

Anderson injury could cost eng the series!

This anti mockers stuff is weird. We can still do thia

Bairstow misses by miles. Sure sign of a tight arm. Definite nerves. Game over.

England need lunch

give root the ball

at least broad is doing something

Don't give Root the ball. KP's time to shine...

 NoooooooOooooOOOO

Broad is a different class to Finn

give trott the ball. hwe will finish this

Jimmy back on- He allways bowls better after a rest..

That actually sounds like a great idea right now. Someone give Cookie a shout!


@Chequered Jersey: I'm afraid its not anti-mockers stuff on my part. I'm genuinely annoyed that we've just about thrown this game away.

give trott the ball. hwe will finish this

Frak Finn!

did finn drop that.

Oh FFS!!!! Can't Finn do anything right?

Finn drops Haddin and in doing so probably costs England the game.

oh my days

Should have played Bresnan...

Finn FFS

6 minutes till lunch. That is going to be a nervy, nervy break!

Ah he got two hands to it, gotta at least stop the boundary

still 90~10 in favour of england

still 90~10 in favour of england

This should have been done and dusted half an hour ago. Thats just how badly this has gone wrong for England.

More like 99.99-0.01 in Aussies' favour.

IF england win, this will be a prized win - a loss here could be cost the series.

Congrats oz.

Never play for eng again finn.

75-25 in Australia's favour

Down to 20. Broad still bowling well but can't get through...

Australia's to lose now ? England clearly want lunch now and I don't blame them...this new delayed lunch has hurt them twice in this match.

If aus win this there average for 10th wicket patnership will be 250..

I havent been on here in a while but I seem to remember finn was a big favourite on the board? what happened

This will lead to heads gone and a 5-0 stuffing.

Oz far better in every way.

Eat it botham.

england should ice the champange now for celebration. england have the match in the bag

This extra over tends to get wickets

He bowled 2 overs for 24 runs and dropped Haddin - thats what happened...

Haha previous to that mate - people dreaded him coming on

and we wernt wrong

The only way England can win this now is if the catering staff put something dodgy in the Aussies' lunch, leading them to get runs of a very different sort.

20 more years of this.

I need a new sport.

Twenty to get after lunch.

Anyone's game. England should still fancy getting number eleven out now , but in these situations there is no relationship between class and success , it is all down to nerve ...and even a bit of luck.

Have said all along I could not pick a winner in this game : still applies.

Send Aleem Dar some wholesome rich, food with fantastic aromas that make the buds tingle with a note saying - Compliments of Cricket Australia. If he feels anything like I do right now - it should win england the match

Now, now wolfie, Boof will have them on cracker biscuits and bottled water.

I wrote a day ago that this Aussie side somehow chased 284 vs a rampant Steyn and Philander in overcast conditions.....

In fourth innings chases I think 11 guys who can hold a bat > 6 great batters + a w/k esp. In difficult pitches!

test cricket >>>>>>> ODI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20/20
