Do not bet the TS collection on it! I am staying up to watch just so that I can be disappointed and feel that I predicted it!

Im hearing ya Marty, watching the Aussies play is like going on a roller coaster and I hate roller coasters!

What a shame for you! Your best predictations have always come at about the 3/4 mark of a game though.

No its not it usually favours one team and in both cases so far its favoured ENGLAND,but thats life.
P.S. I wasn't having a go at your "Beautiful" weather just annoyed it wasn't on TV.

One thing that is favouring England, and one they DO have control over is the time wasting. Eleven overs in an hour, three bowled by Swann! That is a disgrace. Despite my team loosing, I could find myself admiring England (I certainly did in 2005) but the consistent resorting to this sort of practice leaves me burning.

Yes Larso, it is always upsetting to see your team loosing!

It is not England's problem - there are two umpires out there. People keep saying that the umpires are in charge so where were they? Remember when the West Indies regularly bowled 75 overs a day with three short balls an over. There were rules in place but the umpires were frightened to enforce them. It is not as if India are playing and the umpires are worried about their jobs - why not report the captain for bringing the game into disrepute. It would be hard to do that, however, with Warner playing for the opposition.

"It is not as if India are playing and the umpires are worried about their jobs"

Or their houses being burned down!

There was a rule about over rates being met or captains got suspended? I guess that was 'reformed' away at some point.

Unbelievable its raining AGAIN,robbing Australia (again) of any chance of winning.
This might sound funny but we might loose the series 3 zip but i reckon we have been the more aggresive positive team,can't wait till
ENGLAND bring this game plan to Australia.
Young Root isn't going to know what hit him playing off the back foot down here,he will loose his head.
