So that's at least one century for everyone in England's top order other than Colly?

Colly might not be the only career this Ashes will claim. I reckon we might see at least one more, but from the Australian side. They don't play another test till August something, long time for some of the older bunch.

Ponting comes to mind... (especially if Khawaja can get a century in the second innings)

haha just realized that if Beer does not take another wicket or if England declare right now, his Test average will be higher than Doherty's 104 odd, who on earth would have thought that. You can't write this stuff

Average after one innings though. It's hardly conclusive.

There's a difference between saying "I don't know" (even if he did) and asking for a review of it, he is perfectly allowed to do so. Batsmen don't have to walk and Hughes who quite clearly reacted as "Oh, it's dropped" then quickly threw the ball up in the air and claimed the wicket.

That said, I really couldn't care less, it's up to the umpires to give players out. I don't have an issue with either Hughes or Bell. Hughes isn't the first to claim a catch that wasn't, and given the situation, he wouldn't be the last. Bell isn't the first to use the UDRS as a tactical ploy rather than a definitive, "I didn't hit that" and review it within seconds of the finger going up.

Good ton from Prior, nice pace as well.

I'm not that sure Hilfenhaus actually had anything behind the line, I think the 3rd umpire just didn't want to rub this in any more...

Nah he had something behind the line.

Love watching this nothing better than Johnson getting completely flailed around by our tail.

@angryangy - as you'll know from Twitter I criticised both Hughes and Bell.

Loving watching Swann smack Johnson around.

War, these fast bowlers sure are of a "certain" quality aren't they? I'll tell you what quality that is. Mediocre!!!!!!
