England probable XI: Cook, Root, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Bairstow, Prior, Broad, Swann, Finn, Anderson

Australia possible XI: Watson, Rogers, Hughes, Clarke, Khawaja, Warner, Haddin, Lyon, Starc, Pattinson, Siddle

Only one more day to go, I'm sure everyone is on the edge of their seat...

:hypo:

First ball bowled at 11am tomorrow and I shall be watching. :thumbup:

The wicket will be flat and dry so hopefully England (& Wales) will win the toss and put the buggers in.

Dang Cook giving away his wicket. This year it's been like watching the Cook of 2009 :(

And now KP!

Bloody hell, we need a steady hand at the tiler.

I was chuffed that my day off landed on the opening day of the series. Been glued to radio 5x since I got back from the quack.
(incidentally the quack tells me there's a good chance me foot didn't re-attach itself quite where it should be :O )

Finn on a hat-trick. Don't rate the rest of their batting at all, so England are far from out of this game.

Great bowler is Anderson. I just don't see the Aussie batting dealing with the English attack.

Could have been worse but it could have been a hell of a lot better.

I'll put it all down to first day nerves and a few choice Siddle deliveries. If they can get 2 or 3 more down before lunch Australia might crumble. :)

You can listen to all the wickets here:

And the TMS podcast here:

The BBC do occasionally have their uses.

Agreed wub. Test match special is just pure quality.

Not to be a grammar Nazi, but this little typo / misspelling made me think of a dreadful woman I work with, who pronounces things in a Yorkshire accent / wrong. (I've never noticed other Yorshire folk talk like that). Instead of saying apple / people etc, she says appelll / peepelll, and for some reason, it makes me angry. I don't know why it's so irritating, but it really does grate.
