If anyone who said test cricket is boring, watch the Ashes now !!

[Oneonone]

Yes a great century to Clarke and Haddin half way to one as well come on keep put on the runs.

[Oneonone]

Closing in on 500 Haddin has his 100 a couple more wickets to England and we will be bowling!

[AHLUNGOR]

Yes a great century to Clarke and Haddin half way to one as well come on keep put on the runs.

Yeap, Haddin got his Century !!

Clarkey out for 148 - but the Captain has done his job.

We are now 8 for 483, we should see a declaration or let everyone have a few crack whichever comes first.

Let's put England out to bat and try to take some early wickets !!

Go Aussie !!

[AHLUNGOR]

It's great to watch !!

Ryan Harris hit Swann for SIX to bring up the 500, then SIX again !!

Good to see the bowler have a go !!

[Oneonone]

I think we will continue to bat after tea, which is ok if the score quickly.

I think we will continue to bat after tea, which is ok if the score quickly.

I think the key is to get England's batsmen out there to face 25-30 overs while our quicks are at their best, fresh and powerful and Lyon may play a role in a few overs too, before stumps tonight and hopefully take out a couple of the England top order.

It will be a bonus if Harris can get to 50 !!

We saw in Brisbane how a good batting session had done to Mitch's confident !!

Go Aussue !!

[Oneonone]

Harris lets hope he can get his 50 they sure stay hit when he hits them

[Oneonone]

Harris has his 50 so now all we need is a couple of wickets tonight.

[AHLUNGOR]

The Captain has declared at 9 for 570 !!

After no. 10 Harris made his half century.

Great to see Lyon got to 17 and a big SIX to finish !!

A total of 12 SIXes were scored, the most SIXes ever scored in an Ashes Inning.

Let's go on from here and bowl England out quickly and go 2 Up in the Series !!


ps. Just want to add: It's a great batting display by the whole team, two centurions and 4 half centuries !!

Clarke 148
Haddin 118
Rogers 72
Harris 55
Bailey 53
Watson 51

A great looking score card indeed !!

[Oneonone]

Johnson bowling so fast 152 just needs to get some on the wicket

Don't let them get settled.

[Oneonone]

First ball he has got on the stumps and wicket you beauty their captain Cook is out to Johnson.

148 km cannon took Cook out for 3 !

1 for 9,

YOU LITTLE BEAUTY !!

[Oneonone]

Looking at the replay it was just a great delivery and at such a pace.

[Oneonone]

Come on Aussie we need another wicket or two tonight!

[Oneonone]

Could have done with another wicket or two pity we didn't appeal the last ball of the day as if we had we would have had two out!

Never mind I think that they should only use the appeal if its a definite error by the umpire not just a close call so perhaps justice was done.

[AHLUNGOR]

The boys are bowling well !

Two early wickets on Root for 15 and the big big one on Piertersen for 4 (don't worry about his 200 last time in Adelaide!)

I think once we get Carberry and Ian Bell, we could enforce a follow on !!

Go Aussie

[Oneonone]

Ian bell can just stand down the other end and let Johnson loose at the others hope Johnson can get a hat trick. He deserves it.

[AHLUNGOR]

6 for 36 Mitchell Johnson you little beauty !!

A three wicket over!

Twice on a hat trick !

9 for 135 ! How good is this ??

Follow on now ??

[Oneonone]

Might need to bring Johnson back for the last wicket we are making hard work of getting Panesar out.

We did and Mitch is now a Mr Seven !!

What an inning !
