    Thing is though , this is NOT traditionally a high scoring ground , so wait and see what the Aussies get .

    Harmisson said wickets fall in groups on this pitch , he is right so far .......

    Apparently nobody has scored more than 300 on this pitch this year.

    Bell has done well in this series but that dismissal was so cheap. Didn't need to play the big shot by coming down the wicket. Silly play. England were dominating but now 300 would be a decent effort.

    I think anything around 250 will still be a good score.

    250? Average at best. 300 is a good score I think.

    Wicket will do more as game progresses. Anderson could be lethal on here!

    So could have Onions. Big mistake not to pick him IMO.

    If I was Onions I would be sick of always being picked for the 12 man squad but not being picked in the XI. I would tell Cook and Flower to **** off.

    As I said earlier, the wicket will decide this. Could be a good toss to win.

    Just listening to the commentators nattering in the box. It must be the nature of the game...travelling the world and spending lots of time sitting and waiting seems to make cricketers entertaining conversationalists. I would rather be in a stuck lift with a couple of cricketers than footballers. Can you imagine a couple of hours in a small box with Jamie Carragher or Harry Redknapp....I'd be the only one to get out alive, unless I threw myself to my death down the shaft.

    Spending an evening with Ian Botham and Shane Warne might end up being a bit hazardous to your health, albeit great fun!

    Bairstow has got to go. Not ready for international cricket. Useless.

    I won't panic until we see what the Aussies manage first innings , but this score seems a worry ATM .

    If England get 250, they will have to be happy.
