    That's agreed then.

    Just need to win the toss!

    What's Cook's record like with the toss?

    Is this the oldest contest in international sport?

    Could be. I can't believe that they'd go for Bresnan over Finn <yikes>

    I'd still bat first. Clouds will burn off quick enough and Swanny will like having Starks size 13 footholes to bowl in to <ok>

    Harmison says bat first as well. I'm not so sure at all.

    Put a cheeky bet on KP being Eng's highest scorer in the first innings and England win - 11/1.

    I can see that point of view too, was my initial instinct.

    There's pro's and con's to both obviously though.

    If we bat and they take advantage of early cloud we could lose a couple of early cheap wickets. Then again, we could bat for two days and put on 500+.

    The other side is put them in and take advantage of the early cloud. I don't think anyone expects them to do the two day bat thing but Clarke is the one. Get him and I genuinely believe they've got **** all else.

    Cook won the toss and we're batting. I guess we have to go with his judgement <yikes>

    Definitely.

    Happy to see us bat, I think there's more chance of me seeing a full day on Saturday now! Just need to build 500+.

    Of course.

    I rock up on day four and we wrap it up just after tea, what's wrong with that?

    Bad call, even I know that with cloud cover they'd have been better off bowling in this session.

    Definitely the cloud cover threw a different dimension but if we want to win The Ashes our batsmen have to deal with a bit of swing.

    Come on England <diva>

    The cloud is forecast to clear and there's no green on the pitch so unless the first hour is horrific it should be ok.

    We'll soon see. They allegedly have a decent attack, again we'll soon see, eh?
