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

Closing in on 500 Haddin has his 100 a couple more wickets to England and we will be bowling!
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 !!
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 !!
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 !!
Harris lets hope he can get his 50 they sure stay hit when he hits them
Harris has his 50 so now all we need is a couple of wickets tonight.
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 !!
Johnson bowling so fast 152 just needs to get some on the wicket
Don't let them get settled.
First ball he has got on the stumps and wicket you beauty their captain Cook is out to Johnson.
Looking at the replay it was just a great delivery and at such a pace.
Come on Aussie we need another wicket or two tonight!
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.
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
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.
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 ??
Might need to bring Johnson back for the last wicket we are making hard work of getting Panesar out.
Wonder how long we will bat tomorrow, probably let Warner get his century and declare about lunch time. We don't need anymore runs.
Say goodbye to foreign coaches
Say goodbye to coaching overload including high performance managers that have never played cricket
Say goodbye to the flawed rotation policy
What a hole we buried ourselves in for some years now. MAY WE NEVER MAKE THOSE MISTAKES AGAIN
Say hello to Cricket's Aussie Coach - Darren Lehmann, who was a straight forward, simple, no nonsense batsman of the highest quality over a long career
Say hello to Soccer's Aussie Coach - Ange Postecoglou - a nonnonsense successful football manager
Say hello to our best players picked on form alone, and playing every Test match - our cricketers have more job security and certainty in their positions, and look at the results. Mitch Johnson has transformed into a Lillee/Thomson progeny at long last
And say hello to a resurgence of Australian national team success ! About time !
Well Harmony I have to agree with you Aussie teams should be coached by Aussies, Cricket we had a South African Coach with out much success, Rugby Union we had a NZ coach and Soccer well the list goes on but for my way of thinking Aussies know how we think and compete and so if they know their job then they should be first choice to coach an Aussie team. Go Lehman!
