1st Test: England v Australia at Nottingham Jul 10-14, 2013

I'm hoping for a tie now.

I think England may settle for one soon if not already. England losing 10 wickets for 56 runs across the end of their two innings, the aussies scoring more than that with each last wicket stand.

Could they be the fightback kings?

Love our 12th man.

 

[Owzat]

Finn has dropped one, could that be the last chance? This is most definitely the last stand

So will they go for lunch in 6 minutes then?

It's like claiming the "extra half hour", so yes, I believe so. I have to question whether calmer or karma will win this match..........................

What's going on with no.11 Australian batsmen? What are you guys feeding them?

I wish the umpire could just say one more over regardless.

Great!

England bowling England definitely come across as fair weather champions, when things are going their way they're world beaters, but wear them down and England don't know whether to stick or twist.

I think the lunch interval will do for the aussies, if they make it that far. If it carried on until a conclusion I think they'd win. But I bet England will be all nerves through lunch, IF the aussies make it there.

Not sure that's fair, how many last wicket draws have we salvaged in the last few years?

They aren't wins, obviously. But they are signs of a team with a good mentality.

Down side with our strength in the lower order is not knowing where to put them. Pattinson in hindsight would have looked great at 9 although like Clarke he might get the yips there.

There is Pakistan-West Indies ODI match about to take place & it seems many of us Pakistanis have instead switched to Ashes.

Very evenly poised, just hope Australia don't lose concentration and momentum during lunch.

What a game this is turning out to be though.
