    Can Finn do a 'Harmison' and wrap things up?....they will find it easier to score off him than Jimmy, i'm still a bit concerned.

    Oh yeah, not once have I felt this game is in the bag. I said yesterday that no cricket game is over until the last run is scored - or indeed, the last wicket taken.

    If you think that what Aus did in 2005, they did with Warne, Lee and Kas. Here, in Haddin, they have an actual batsman still at the crease. At Pattinson is better than Kas.

    That said though, Swann is better than Giles.

    I've never doubted the ability of the England Cricket Team to shoot itself in the foot!...:emoticon-0110-tongu

    This has been a tremendous Test Match whatever the result....

    Just because Pattinson is batting at number 11 does not mean that he has the (lack of) ability of a number 11. It's a seriously good Australian tail on paper. It would be even stronger had they selected Faulkner.

    England perhaps chasing that last wicket too much...giving opportunities to the Aussies. Go back to bowling so that they struggle to score.

    I'd be tempted to try and bowl defensively for the next 17 mins, restrict the runs, and get through the lunch. We'll get a rest, the Aussies will have to start again, and Jimmy may have shaken his cramp off.

    Meanwhile, Cal Crutchlow just passed Valentino Rossi for 2nd in the MotoGP race at Sachsenring, with no skin on his forearms or palms <laugh>

    Really is shades of 2005 now. Simon Jones dropped a difficult catch on the boundary back then, with 15 to win.

    Steve Parrish utters the commentators' curse by saying... could this be the first elusive win for Crutchlow..? The idiot..! :)

    Marquez is 2 seconds up the road, btw.
