>>whether England make use of the prime batting conditions like the Australians have.<<

WEll they sure have - in ltlle than an hour they have managed to get to 50 for 3.

Excellent bowling from the Aussies. Very accurate. Are you watching England?

I cannot understand what the hell Strauss was doing to go for such a risky shot so early in the game.

Aaaaagh Shane Warne is coming on.Time for knee trembles. Will we save the follow on?
