"I think England might be confident of winning from here", said Nick, after England posted 340 and Sri Lanka were 120-8.

 

He pulled off a classic once, trying to claim a match was still very much in the balance "if they can get in" with Worcestshire chasing 270 odd at 119-8.

 

Bookies had them at about 500/1,

Glenn McGrath has been a very good addition to the TMS team. Been very impressed

That 98 could be the best thing that happened to us.

 

He'll have to keep playing now and whatever that freak innings was he isn't up to much as a spinner.

Agree RE Strauss. Having captained most of the team he knows them inside out.

Pains me to say it, but McGrath actually came across as a very nice bloke today on the radio.

 

I used to hate that bloke with a passion.

Shocking decisions by Erasmus which could cost us the match. We should have had an 80 or so run lead after 1st innings.

 

But, hats off, Agar took advantage of the situation and looked like he was batting on a different pitch to everyone else. Saying that, he was helped by some shocking bowling by Finn in particular.

The Ashes is taking it's toll on me in a big way, Had 3 hours kip the last 2 nights but boy has it been worth it. Been some proper test match cricket this.  

 

I think the forgotten man of yesterdays days play was Phil Hughes, He probably played his best Ashes innings and it could be his break thru Innings.

 

Agar, what can you say got us back in the match and lifted the spirits of the Dressing room. Had a smile on his face the whole time even when he went out he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Hopefully we are seeing a 15 year test player, still got some work to do obviously with the ball but plenty of potential there.

 

Big first hour today, if we have to chase anything over 200 we are completly Travis Tucked.

Looks more dangerous than Lyon would, for a 19 year old he has some good drop and flight, his only going to improve. I hope they stick with him.

The series down under kill me, literally going on 4 hours sleep and your like a zombie at work the next day.

 

Agar was great, his interview in front of the sky cart was fantastic, every young sportsman should watch it, no cliches, just a big smile on his face and spoke from the heart, top lad.

 

Agree with you he'll be a great player but I think this series might just be too early for him with the ball. We seemed to see him pretty easy and you can just wait for the odd bad ball with a player that age.

 

Time to pile on today, this pitch looks as good as it's going to be and the weather is perfect.

2 days in and i'm struggling massively and been to busy at work too take a few hours off. Been great tho you really find out who the proper cricket fans are day starts off with calls and text messages flying around from about 20 mates. After tea their is only 3 off us, all 3 of us have been knackered all day lol

I did see that Agar interview was very impressed by him, love how he said he models his batting on his younger brother lol His pretty well educated as well, was a private school boy in Melbourne before moving to WA. Think it's great we have some young blokes in the team and we are trying to build a future with blokes like Agar, Starc, Patto Hughes and Smith

lol Same over here, about 3 or 4 of us that manage to makle it through the night.

 

Go young absolutely, can only get better, we finally did it after years of still calling up people like Tufnell at 30.

 

Big wicket that, Pietersen was getting going. Cook looks solid as a rock now, need people to stay with him and make runs.

Time for Bell, Bairstow and Prior to make some runs now.

 

Lead of 250 might be enough.

We need another quick one to put some pressure on Prior.

Anything over triple figures and i wiould consider us outsiders, don't have much faith in our batting line up. Think Clarke should be at 5 and not 4 made the bulk of his runs there.
