[Electric ~soul~]

Chubbster - I'd say the Aussies have a slight advantage at the minute.

 

Australia currently 5/4 for the match, in from 13/8 at the start of the day.

[Chubbhead EFM]

Oh right, so long as we win i suppose!

[GHA EFM]

some songs here

 

The Aussies Love the English

The Aussies love the English, you might find it quite strange

'Cos we sent them all down under, with only balls and chains

And when they see the English, they always shout and scream

But when they had the chance to vote they voted for the Queen!

God save your gracious Queen

Long live your noble Queen

God save your Queen (you're a convict)

Send her victorious

Happy and glorious

Long to reign over you

God save your Queen.

Convict Colony

(To the tune of "Yellow Submarine")

In the town where I was born, there lived a man who was a thief

And he told me of his life, stealing bread and shagging sheep.

So they put him in the nick, and then a magistrate he went to see

He said "put him on a ship, to the convict colony"

You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony

You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony

Right. I'm switching off.

[gertcha EFM]

Good to see these two guys sat next to each other having a good laugh when I was watching.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

Horse racing breaks are crap. Currently 188-4

[Electric ~soul~]

Legends, Gertcha!!

[Electric ~soul~]

The spread for England's first innings is still around the 420 mark.

 

420? I'd rip their hand off for that.

[GHA EFM]

200 up

 

Strauss - 88

 

Flintoff - 30

[AFF]

Tidy. What's that? 65 or so for this partnership?

[Electric ~soul~]

Last wicket was 131, I think.

[GHA EFM]

Currently 72 partnership

[GHA EFM]

213-4

 

Tea

[Electric ~soul~]

Hmmm.

 

Now, would we have taken 213-4 at tea before the start of play this morning?

 

Possibly.

 

So we've clawed our way back a little bit since that top order collapse earlier.

 

Relatively satisfied, though could all change again in the final session.

Freddie's got his 50 with a swept 6 off Warne, also brings 100 stand up
