That's a massive blow for the Aussies. Confidence should be boosted for our boys now.

Until we lost the toss (AGAIN!!) I notice that the Aussies always call heads -- double headed coin??  |

Did we lose the toss? Ponting said yesterday that if they won it we'd be batting first. Is that a good thing?

No, in the last ten tests at Edgbaston team batting first - won 2, lost 7 drew 1 - source Sky Sports the other day. Could be one or two out on my figures.

I reckon we're better off batting first anyway - it wont get our hopes up too much if we skittle them for under 200 again.

Stats never lie KT, they never lie. Even ones you may have misquoted.

McGrath not playing is great news, but whilst Kasprowicz is a mere mortal in comparison he's still fucking class.

Staruss bowled by Warne on 48 - shame he didn't make the 50.
112-1. Vaughan comes in at number three.
