Another near perfect day for Australia. Punter falling just short of 200 is the only real disappointment for them. Harmison and Anderson were less bad today, and it was good to see Hoggard get some reward for all of his hard work, but now that the Australian bowlers have had a chance to show what they can do the failings of England’s attack become all the more obvious. Right now it looks more like a game of Christians & Lions than a game of cricket, but when the lions are that good you can’t help but admire them.

Cheryl and everyone,
back again on one of the coolest blogs that I have seen covering cricket now that the season is in full swing. Have you guys been watching the game? I want to check out Hussey play. They say he is phenomenal. I don’t know if you guys care about or are following cricket in South Africa. The great Indian middle order collapse and nothing more to report. Between college football and cricket I got absolutely no time!!!! Take care guys
No, England are going to win in Australia. They always lose the first test, always by miles, to lull the Aussies into a false sense of security. It’s cunning and very post modern (winning by losing…etc, etc) .
I’m glad you said “lose the first test” because they sure are in trouble. I’ve just been watching the McGrath turn the ball like a spinner off the cracks in the pitch, and now here comes Warnie. Oh dear.
Ganesh – I presume you saw my blog post about the DirectTV coverage. They have the SA-India series as well, though you may not want to be watching that.
So yes, I have TV coverage, despite being in San Francisco. Jonathan, of course, is in Perth, and probably has tickets for the Third Test, the lucky bugger. No comments from Justine yet, but I know she has tickets for Sydney.
