2.30 am!

Though stumps was about 9.30/10.00 this morning so it's probably better to get up a bit early if you want to see it.

What time is "bat off" tonight / tomorrow?
Dunno, 2.30 I fink, but when I get up, I should have some good news on my fixed Digital Radio, to help my toast and tea to go down easy, before work! :)

Glad I didn't wait up to watch us fall apart....
Yes, me too!

What an amazing day though - it's not a foregone conclusion but certainly the Aussies are back on top and back in it.

Watching the highlights it was striking that when taking Strauss's wicket, Johnson ran straight past Ponting, even though the fellow took the catch. Sour grapes at having been previously dropped? Even a near broken finger didn't seem to thaw the chill.

Where there is harmony, may we hope for discord?

Two more and we need to win one of them.

Interesting developments in the increasing televisual encroachment on umpire/referee decisions this series - with all the technology available to them there will still be disputed decisions. Hotspot is an interesting addition, not seen it before, but it does have its limitations.

Bell really should have been given out on 69 i thought - if the third umpire cannot give a definitive answer the umpire surely should have gone with his umpiring gut. Holy McFuck he played some fine shots though.

Rumour revealed on TMS that batsmen smear vaseline on edges of their bats so that hotspot won't show up - fancy that.

Bah, rain. (Not Bahrain)

Was rather hoping they'd have wrapped it up by now - looks like i'll have to wake up to it.
