And a very good morning to all our listeners. Hope you're all in good voice for 'And did those feet in ancient times'

So Mcgrtah in Jones out. Shaping up to be another cliff hanger, a draw will do but what's the weather going to do.

Anybody need the usual hootoo match report service or have all you lucky fans got tickets?

England have won the toss and chosen to bat.

Mcgrtah? Wasn't that Danny Glover's character in Lethal Weapon?


Woo hoo, here we go again

Big guns first on with the new ball. McGrath and Lee

1 for 0

7 for 0. Trescothick 5, Strauss 2. Trescos just survived an LBW appeal from Lee. Bowden said it was missing leg.

21 for 0. Trescothick 13, Strauss 3.

61 for 0. Trescothick 35, Strauss 20

Sorry, but I'm a foreigner, and have no clue of cricket, so your results don't mean anything to me, but I'd like to follow it nevertheless, so would you mind adding a or a or something to indicate whether that's good or bad for England ?

But its far too early to draw any conclusions yet.

Australia have to get 10 English batsment out to end this innings. So far they've managed preciesly none of these...

im from yorkshire in england and i dont understand cricket.
i cant watch it because it doesnt mean a thing to me!

please tell us whether we are doing well or not.

if we win today do we win the ashes?

Crikey, I am such a bag of nerves.

Lets hope our cricket boys show the football boys how it is *supposed* to be done.

Sure thing... 78 for 0, Trescothick 29 Strauss 41

We won't win today. The match lasts for five days or however long it takes for each team to be bowled out twice. This won't happen before saturday at the very earliest.

Yes, you will, and as far as I've understood, it's sufficient if you don't lose this final test to win the whole, but not sure about this.

Sorry, didn't see the 'today' - Orcus is of course right.

ok

will have to wait untill saturday then to see if we are going to win.

what is it with cricket? why does it have to be so complecated? rugby on the other hand....................now thats something i understand!

...as was your post

I'm developing into a real English(wo)man, my lads already complain about my 'English sense of humour '

Trescothick out! c Hayden b Warne 43

England 83 for 1, Strauss 31, Vaughan 1

(Sorry about earlier, not sure how I got the batsman's scores mixed up... )

me is that good or bad?
